Two capillary tubes of same radiusr but ...

Two capillary tubes of same radiusr but of lengths, `l_(1) and l_(2)` are fitted in parallel to the bottom of a vessel. The pressure head is P. What should be the length of a single tube that can replace the two tubes so that the rate of flow is same as before

A

`l_1 + l_2`

B

`( 1) /( l_1) + (1)/( l_2)`

C

`( l_1 l_2)/( l_1 + l_2)`

D

`(1) /( l_1 + l_2)`
