A capillary glass tube records a rise of `20cm` when dipped in water. When the area of cross-section of the tube is reduced to half of the former value, water will rise to a height ofA. `10sqrt(2)cm`B. `10cm`C. `20cm`D. `20sqrt(2)cm`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Area is halved, means radius of tube is made `(1)/sqrt(2)` times.
`h=(2T cos theta)/(rrhog)` or `h prop (1)/(r)`
Hence, h will become `sqrt(2)` times.
