Statement I: Small liquid drops assume sphereical shape.
Statement II: Due to surface tension liquid drops tend to have minimum surface area.

Options

A. Statement I is true, statement II is true and Statement II is a correct explanation for Statement I.
B. Statement I is true, Statement II is true and Statement II is NOT the correct explanation for Statement I.
C. Statement I is true, Statement II is false.
D. Statement I is false, Statement II is true.

Answer

A

Explanation

The free surface of a liquid drop tries to acquire minimum surface area due to surface tension. Since for a given volume, the surface area of sphere is minimum, the liquid drops acquire sphere is minimum, the liquid drops acquire spherical shape.
