A straight 25 cm pipeline 5 km long is laid between two reservoirs having a difference of levels of 40 mtrs. To increase the capacity of the system, an additional 2.5 km long 2.5 cm pipe is laid parallel from the first reservoir to the mid point of the original pipe. Assuming f = 0.025 for both pipes, find the increase in discharge due to installation of the new pipe.
