Absolute discharge pressure at the exit of centrifugal pump - GATE ME '04

A centrifugal pump is required to pump water to an open water tank situated 4 km away from the location of the pump through a pipe with a diameter of 0.2 m having Darcy’s friction factor of 0.01. The average speed of water in the pipe is 2 m/s. if it maintains a constant head of 5 m in the tank, neglecting other minor losses, the absolute discharge pressure at the pump exit is ______________ A. 0.449 bar B. 5.503 bar C. 44.911 bar D. 55.203 bar
