The correct answer is: less than \( 1000 \)
The Reynolds number is the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces. It predicts weather the flow will laminar or turbulent.
A flow of liquid is streamline if the Reynolds number should be less than 2000. Therefore, from the given options, only
option (1) satisfies the condition. Thus, a flow of liquid is streamline if the Reynolds number is less than \( 1000 \).
