Question-1
We know that the trapezoidal channel is always best for the open channel as it is most economical with the given perimeter as it requires less lining than rectangular.
So we can rule out a rectangular section
Next, In lining the canals always curved bottom is more economical and better as the curve is easier to line and there are lengthy proofs to justify this. But if we think in a general sense the curve has the least friction losses so, we always prefer curved bottom.
So the answer will be a Trapezoidal channel with the circular bottom with medium discharge(option-a)
