Ryve's formula:
QP = CR × A2/3
Where QP = flood peak discharge, A = catchment area in km2, and CR = Ryve's constant.
Calculation:
Given; catchment area (A) = 8 km2, Ryve's coefficient (CR) = 6
Maximum flood discharge (QP) = CR × A2/3 = 6 × (8)2/3 = 6 × (23)2/3 = 6 × (2)2 = 24 m3/s
Hence option (3) is the correct answer.
