Can two streamlines cross each other? Why?

  • A
    Yes,they can cross at high speeds.
  • B
    No,because at the point of intersection,the fluid particle would have two different directions of velocity simultaneously.
  • C
    Yes,they can cross in turbulent flow.
  • D
    No,because the pressure at the intersection point would be infinite.
