Fertilization of the egg takes place inside:

$A$ capillary tube of radius '$r$' is immersed in water and water rises to a height of '$h$'. The mass of water in the capillary tube is $5 \times 10^{-3} \ kg$. The same capillary tube is now immersed in a liquid whose surface tension is $\sqrt{2}$ times the surface tension of water. The angle of contact between the capillary tube and this liquid is $45^{\circ}$. The mass of liquid which rises into the capillary tube now is (in $kg$):
