  • Question

  • The ratio of the rate of change of discharge of an outlet and parent channel, is known as


  • Options
  • A. efficiency
  • B. sensitivity
  • C. flexibility
  • D. modular limit.

  • Correct Answer
  • flexibility 

    Explanation
    Flexibility: It provides a criteria for judging the behaviour of modules and semi-modules. It is generally denoted by letter 'F'. It is the ratio of the rate of change of outlet discharge to the rate of change of discharge of the parent channel.
