The speed of the fluid is maximum in the venture-meter at
Correct answer: A. convergent duct
- A. convergent duct
- B. divergent duct
- C. at end points
- D. at any point
Explanation
The speed of the fluid in a Venturi meter is maximum at the convergent duct. As the fluid moves through this section, its speed increases due to the narrowing of the pipe(decrease in area), according to the equation of continuity.Av=constant

About Fluid Dynamics
Fluid flow is described through speed, pressure and density, including steady flow and the equation of continuity for conserving mass. Bernoulli's equation relates pressure, speed and height, while fluid drag and terminal velocity explain why a falling object eventually moves at constant speed when drag balances its weight.
