Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 3 : Impeller inlet radius

When the Mach number at impeller inlet radius exceeds unity, the air gets deflected through certain angle before its entry into the radial channel of the impeller vane. This leads to formation of shockwave which cause a rapid increase in the lossless.
