Question: A pump station serving a small subdivision will lift water from a clear well of varying water surface elevation. The pump will start at elevation

A pump station serving a small subdivision will lift water from a clear well of varying water surface elevation. The pump will start at elevation 120ft
and shut off at elevation 100ft. The elevation of the pump centerline is 90ft, and the elevation of the discharge reservoir is maintained at a constant
160ft. The equivalent length of the discharge pipe is 2000ft of 12in diameter pipe, and the equivalent length of the suction pipe is 1500ft of 16in
diameter pipe. Suction and discharge pipes are ductile iron. The pump performance data are given in the table.
The pump capacity range for the given conditions will be most nearly
A.600-1250gpm
B.1100-1850gpm
C.1350-1700gpm
D.1650-2000gpm
