(N/A) $(i)$ Bernoulli's theorem is derived based on the principle of conservation of energy,assuming that no energy is lost due to friction. However,in reality,when fluids flow,energy is lost due to internal friction (viscosity). Viscous forces acting between different layers of the fluid result in a loss of energy.
$(ii)$ The theorem assumes the fluid is incompressible. In practice,the elastic energy of the fluid is not taken into consideration,which limits the theorem's applicability to compressible fluids.
$(iii)$ The theorem assumes steady,streamline flow. It does not account for turbulent flow,where velocity and pressure at a point change randomly with time.

Consider a completely full cylindrical water tank of height $1.6 \ m$ and cross-sectional area $0.5 \ m^2$. It has a small hole in its side at a height $90 \ cm$ from the bottom. Assume the cross-sectional area of the hole to be negligibly small as compared to that of the water tank.
