The answer is #"option (2)"#

Explanation:

The force exerted on the water by the hose is

#F_1=(Deltap_(w1))/(Deltat)=(m_1v_1)/(Deltat)#

and

#F_2=(Deltap_(w2))/(Deltat)=(m_2v_2)/(Deltat)=(2m_1*2v_1)/(Deltat)#

#=4((m_1v_1)/(Deltat))#

#=4F_1#

According to Newton's third Law, the water exerts an equal force back on the hose. Thus, the fireman must apply a force in the direction of the water stream to hold the hose stationary.

The answer is #"option (2)"#
