Water rises to a height of 20 mm in a capillary tube of cross-sectional area 'A'. If the area of cross-section of the tube is made , then water will rise to a higher of

Answer: (C)

Solution

The capillary rise is , so . The cross-sectional area is , so . When the area becomes , the radius becomes , and the rise doubles: $h'=2h=2×20\
