Water flows in a streamline manner through a capillary tube of radius $a$. The pressure difference is $P$ and the rate of flow is $Q$. If the radius is reduced to $\frac{a}{4}$ and the pressure is increased to $4P$,then the rate of flow becomes ................

  • A
    $4Q$
  • B
    $\frac{Q}{2}$
  • C
    $Q$
  • D
    $\frac{Q}{64}$
