From Bernoulli's theroem

$P_{1}+\frac{1}{2} \rho v_{1}^{2}=P_{2}+\frac{1}{2} \rho v_{2}^{2}$

and from equation of continuity

$v_{y}>v_{x} \quad \Rightarrow \quad P_{x}>P_{y} \quad \Rightarrow \quad K E_{y}>K E_{x}$

so option $D$ is correct.

    Two spheres $P$ and $Q$ of equal radii have densities $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2$, respectively. The spheres are connected by a massless string and placed in liquids $L_1$ and $L_2$ of densities $\sigma_1$ and $\sigma_2$ and viscosities $\eta_1$ and $\eta_2$, respectively. They float in equilibrium with the sphere $P$ in $L_1$ and sphere $Q$ in $L _2$ and the string being taut (see figure). If sphere $P$ alone in $L _2$ has terminal velocity $\overrightarrow{ V }_{ P }$ and $Q$ alone in $L _1$ has terminal velocity $\overrightarrow{ V }_{ Q }$, then

    $(A)$ $\frac{\left|\overrightarrow{ V }_{ P }\right|}{\left|\overrightarrow{ V }_{ Q }\right|}=\frac{\eta_1}{\eta_2}$ $(B)$ $\frac{\left|\overrightarrow{ V }_{ P }\right|}{\left|\overrightarrow{ V }_{ Q }\right|}=\frac{\eta_2}{\eta_1}$

    $(C)$ $\overrightarrow{ V }_{ P } \cdot \overrightarrow{ V }_{ Q } > 0$ $(D)$ $\overrightarrow{ V }_{ P } \cdot \overrightarrow{ V }_{ Q } < 0$

    A $20 \,cm$ long tube is closed at one end. It is held vertically, and its open end is dipped in water until only half of it is outside the water surface. Consequently, water rises in it by height $h$ as shown in the figure. The value of $h$ is closest to .............. $\,m / s$ (assume that the temperature remains constant, $P _{\text {armosphere }}=10^5 \,N / m ^2$, density. of water $=10^3 \,kg / m ^3$, and acceleration due to gravity $g =10 \,m / s ^2$ )
