    option (a) 80 Pa

    Explanation:

    Data provided in the question:

    v = 4 m/s

    Distance between the plates, t = 5 mm = 5 * 10⁻³ m

    Specific gravity, s = 0.80

    Kinematic viscosity, ν = 1.25 * 10⁻⁴ m²/s

    Now,

    μ = sν

    = 0.80 * 1.25 * 10⁻⁴

    = 0.1 kg/m. s

    average shear stress, τ = μ * [ v : t]

    = 0.1 * [ 4 : 5 * 10⁻³ ]

    = 80 Pa

    Hence,

    option (a) 80 Pa
