The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The aerofils are so designed that
$ {{P}_{upper\,side}}<{{P}_{lower\,side}} $
so that the aerofils get a lifting force in upward direction. According to Bernoullis theorem, where the pressure is large, the velocity will be minimum or vice-versa.
Thus, $ {{v}_{upper\,sisde}}>{{v}_{lower\,side}} $

Bernauli Theorem

In fluid dynamics, Bernoulli's principle states that an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in static pressure or a decrease in the fluid's potential energy. The principle is named after Daniel Bernoulli who published it in his book Hydrodynamica in 1738.
