Solution

The correct option is B low density.
As the Reynold’s number is given by

R=ρ.V.Dμ Where ρ is the density of the fluid, μ is the viscosity of the fluid and the D is the characteristic dimension.

For streamline flow, Reynolds’s number should be less for the fluid, therefore

R = ρμ

Final Answer: (b), (c)
