$A$ large number of liquid drops each of radius $r$ coalesce to form a single drop of radius $R$. The energy released in the process is converted into kinetic energy of the big drop so formed. The speed of the big drop is (given,surface tension of liquid $T$,density $\rho$):

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{T}{\rho}\left(\frac{1}{r} - \frac{1}{R}\right)}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{2T}{\rho}\left(\frac{1}{r} - \frac{1}{R}\right)}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{4T}{\rho}\left(\frac{1}{r} - \frac{1}{R}\right)}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{6T}{\rho}\left(\frac{1}{r} - \frac{1}{R}\right)}$
