Water is flowing through a long horizontal tube. Let PA and PB be the pressures at two points A and B of the tube.

(a) PA must be equal to PB

(b) PA must be greater than PB.

(c) PA must be smaller than PB.

(d) PA =PB only if the cross-sectional area at A and B are equal.

(d) PA = Ponly if the cross-sectional area at A and B are equal.

EXPLANATION: 

Pₐ = Pᵦ only if the velocities are equal at A and B (From the Bernoulli's theorem it can be deduced that in a horizontal tube flow pressure is less where velocity is more). The velocities at A and B will be equal only if the cross-sectional areas at A and B are the same.
