Q1:

The length and width of a meander and also the width of the river, vary roughly as

A square root of the discharge

B discharge

C square of the discharge

D cube of the discharge.

ANS:A - square root of the discharge

Discharge = Area x velocity.

So,
The area is LXb or S^2.
If L=B.
L *L is directly proportional to Q.
Or L= √Q.
