Solution

The correct option is C 9:14
By using rise in capillary tube formula, h=2Tcosθρgr
where, h is rise of water in capillary
T is surface tension of water
ρ is density of water
g is acceleration due to gravity
r is radius of capillary
So, hA=2TAcosθρArAg=2 ................(1)

hA=2TBcosθρBrBg=2 ................(2)
Dividing (1) and (2) we get:
23=TAρBrBρArATB
rArB=75×3×270×2×5=914
