Question

Which is a false statement from the following?

A.

A chain pump is suitable to lift water to heights up to 12 m from the water surface in the well, canal or stream.

B.

A centrifugal pump will not function until the pump casing is completely filled with water.

C.

Submersible pumps are suitable for installation in tube wells of diameter 10 cm or larger.

D.

Total head is the sum of static head, friction head, and velocity head.

Correct option is A

The correct answer is: A – A chain pump is suitable to lift water to heights up to 12 m from the water surface in the well, canal or stream.
Explanation:
The statement in A is false because a chain pump is typically used for lifting water to heights of up to 6 meters, not 12 meters. It consists of a series of buckets attached to a chain that lifts water from a well, canal, or stream, but it becomes less efficient beyond certain heights, usually around 6 meters. Therefore, the claim of lifting water up to 12 meters is incorrect.
Key Points:
  • Chain pumps are designed to lift water to a maximum of around 6 meters.

  • They become less effective when lifting water to greater heights, beyond their optimal capacity.
