Why an increase in area is required to produce an increase of velocity in case of supersonic flow ?

Why an increase in area is required to produce an increase of velocity in case of supersonic flow ?
Ans. Increase in area for increase in velocity for supersonic flow is required because the density decreases faster than velocity increases at supersonic speeds and to maintain continuity of mass, area must increase.
