D) If the assertion and reason both are false.
E) If assertion is false but reason is true.
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
\[h=\frac{2T}{Rdg}\] Þ\[hR=\frac{2T}{Rdg}\] \ \[hR=\text{constant}\] Hence when the tube is of insufficient length, radius of curvature of the liquid meniscus increases, so as to maintain the product hR a finite constant. i.e. as h decreases, R increases and the liquid meniscus becomes more and more flat, but the liquid does not overflow.
