You have a loss of velocity (speed) which is dynamic
pressure. Total pressure is Dynamic pressure + static pressure
The static pressure will recover back to the original,
but although the dynamic pressure also recovers a bit, it can never recover
back to the original because some of it changed to temperature. Therefore the
total pressure must have decreased.
We believe there are two correct answers, so that one is worth an appeal. We
think the total temperature must also be higher.
