Two identical centrifugal pumps are operated in parallel so as to deliver into a common delivery pipe. Speed for both is also identical. At what total discharge (Q) and total head (H) will be system operate as compared to discharge and head to each of the pumps operated singly?

- 1
  
  Both total Q and total H would increase, each approximately by 50%.
- 2
  
  Total Q would be approximately double, but H would remain the same
- 3
  
  Total H would be approximately double, but Q wuld remain the same
- 4
  
  Total H would be doubled, but Q would be approximately halved
