The excess pressure inside an air bubble of radius r just below the surface of the water is P1. The excess pressure inside a drop of the same radius just outside the surface is P2. If T is surface tension then:
A
P1 = 2P2

Solution
The correct option is BP1 = 2P2
Since, an air bubble has 2 air-liquid interface, therefore the excess pressure inside a bubble is a result of 2 surfaces rather than just 1 in case of drop.
