Two splits A and B are ventilated from an intake airway. Resistances of the splits are 0.5 Ns<sup>2</sup>m<sup>-8</sup> and 0.8 Ns<sup>2</sup>m<sup>-8</sup> respectively. A regulator is placed in split B to maintain a flow of 15 m<sup>3</sup>/s and 10 m<sup>3</sup>/s in splits A and B respectively as shown in the figure. The size of the regulator in m<sup>2</sup> is<br><img src="/images/question-image/mining-engineering/mine-ventilation/1682426625-M2-3-53-75.PNG" title="Mine Ventilation mcq question image" alt="Mine Ventilation mcq question image">
