Answer

$\therefore$ $$\text{Q}_2 = 6Q$$

Work Step by Step

$$\text{Volume Flow rate} = \text{Q}$$ $$\text{Volume Flow rate}= \frac{\Delta V}{\Delta t} = A\times v$$ Initially, $$\text{Q} = A\times v$$ Now, if the water speed doubles and the cross-sectional area of the pipe triples, New Volume Flow Rate will be $$\text{Q}_2 = 3A\times 2v$$ $$\text{Q}_2 = 6\times A\times v$$ $$\text{Q}_2 = 6Q$$
