A 20-hp suction pump at 70% efficiency draws water from a suction line wh is 200mm and discharges into air thru a line whose diameter is 150 mm. The the 150mm line is 3.6 m/s. If the pressure at point A in the suction pipe is 34 the atmosphere, where A is 1.8 m below section B on the 150 mm line, dete maximum elevation above section B to which water can be raised assuming of 3 m due to friction. Express answer in meters.

Pls answer with complete solution. I need it ASAP. I refer hand written solution so I can understand more. TY
A 20-hp suction pump at 70% efficiency draws water from a suction line whose diameter
is 200mm and discharges into air thru a line whose diameter is 150 mm. The velocity in
the 150mm line is 3.6 m/s. If the pressure at point A in the suction pipe is 34 kPa below
the atmosphere, where A is 1.8 m below section B on the 150 mm line, determine the
maximum elevation above section B to which water can be raised assuming a head loss
of 3 m due to friction. Express answer in meters.
