A pump can push a viscous oil through a long straight pipe of length l with the flow rate of Q. Now a part of the middle section of the pipe is replaced by a ring-shaped section of mean radius R having the same internal cross-section as that of the pipe. If the same pump is used to push oil through this modified pipe then what will be the flow rate.
