A. transformers will be overheated
B. power factors of both the transformers will be same
C. parallel operation will be not possible

Viscocity Definition : the state of being thick, sticky, and semi-fluid in consistency, due to internal friction.
"cooling the fluid raises its viscosity"
a quantity expressing the magnitude of internal friction in a fluid, as measured by the force per unit area resisting uniform flow.
tendency of a substance to evaporate at normal temperatures.
"the volatility of chemicals in an indoor environment"
Transformer oil has a low viscosity and low volatility with good gas absorbing properties, while It resists oxidation, slugging, and emulsification with water. Viscosity is the resistance of flow, in normal condition.
