SUMMARY
The forum discussion centers on a confusion regarding the application of the Venturi meter in a test scenario. The user confirms that their calculations align with the solution provided in the textbook, yet the multiple-choice answers presented in the test do not match. Other participants suggest that the teacher may have made an error in the answer choices, specifically regarding the ratios of areas (A2/A1 or A1/A2) versus diameters (D2/D1 or D1/D2). This indicates a potential miscommunication in the formulation of the test questions.
