    The radtio of surface tensions of mercury and water is given to be 7.5 while the ratio of their densities is 13.6. Their contact angles, with glass, are close to\[135{}^\circ \]and\[0{}^\circ ,\]respectively. It is observed that mercury gets depressed by an amount h in a capillary tube of radius \[{{r}_{1}},\] while water rises by the same amount h in a capillary tube of radius \[{{r}_{2}}.\]The ratio, \[({{r}_{1}}/{{r}_{2}}),\]is then close to: [JEE Main 10-4-2019 Morning]

    A) 2/3                              

    B) 3/5

    C) 2/5      

    D) 4/5

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[h=\frac{2{{S}_{1}}\cos {{\theta }_{1}}}{{{r}_{1}}{{\rho }_{1}}g}\]           \[h=\frac{2{{S}_{2}}\cos {{\theta }_{2}}}{{{r}_{2}}{{\rho }_{2}}g}\]           \[\Rightarrow \frac{{{r}_{1}}}{{{r}_{2}}}=\frac{2}{5}\]
