Option 3 : Both 1 and 2

Statement I – True

The basic difference between pump in series and in parallel is given below:

Pumps in Series	Pumps in Parallel
Discharge will remain same.	Discharge will be sum of the discharges in individual pump.
Total head = Sum of heads of all the pumps connected in series.	Heads against pumps are working remains same.
Ex: Pumps which has high flow rate are used in series such as Centrifugal pumps.	Ex: Pumps which has low flow rate are used in parallel so that their discharge can be increased such as Reciprocating pumps.

Statement II – True

Discharge order: Reciprocating pumps < Centrifugal pumps < Axial Flow pumps

Working Head order: Axial flow pumps < Reciprocating pumps < Centrifugal pumps
