Statement I: Smaller drops of liquid resist deforming forces better than the larger drops.
Statement II: Excess pressure inside a drop is directly proportional to its surface area.

Options

A. both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason in the correct explanation of the Assertion.
B. both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
C. Assertion is true but the Reason is false.
D. both Assertion and Reason are false.

Answer

C

Explanation

Here, Assertion is correct because excess of pressure `P=(2S)/(R)` , i.e., `P prop (1)/(R)` . Therefore the excess of pressure inside the smaller drop is large due to which the smaller drop can resist the deforming force better. Here Reason is wrong.
