Pick up the false statement

Gas turbine is a self starting unit
Gas turbine does not require huge quantity of water like steam plant
Exhaust losses in gas turbine are high due to large mass flow rate
Overall efficiency of gas turbine plant is lower than that of a reciprocating engine

Compressors, Gas Turbines and Jet Engines
If p₁, is the pressure of air entering the L.P. cylinder and p₂ is the pressure of air leaving the L.P. cylinder (or inter-cooler pressure), then the ratio of cylinder diameters for a single acting, two stage reciprocating air compressor with complete intercooling is given by (where D₁ = Dia. of L.P. cylinder, and D₂ = Dia. of H.P. cylinder)

D₁/D₂ = p₂/p₁
D₁/D₂ = p₁ p₂
D₁/D₂ = p₁/p₂
None of these
