Answer»

Correct option is (a) Change of flow equations from elliptic to hyperbolic

The explanation is: STRAIGHT to the nose of the vehicle, the shock is normal. This results in a subsonic region and elliptic flow equations. But, downstream the shock is oblique which creates a supersonic region resulting in the elliptic EQUATION. This was the PROBLEM in modelling supersonic blunt nose. In LATER years this was overcome by a better model.
