Answer»

Right answer is (b) Lower than

The BEST explanation: The CAPACITY of a pump has two COMPONENTS, the pump discharge rate and the discharge pressure. The discharge rate is normally measured in gallons per minute (gpm) in English units or LITERS per second (lps) in METRIC units. Discharge capacity of the reciprocating pump is less that of the centrifugal pump.
