Solution

The correct option is D 30 cm
The water can be filled upto a height such that capillary rise does not take place within the holes.

The expression is given by, H=2Tcosθρgr

Substituting the values of the quantities,

T = 0.075 N/m
θ=0
ρ=103
g = 10
R = 0.05×103m

Evaluating the expression, gives us H = 0.3 m or 30 cm
