A.
Both
AnswerB.
Only the glass tube
C.
Only the capillary tube
D.
Neither
Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
The rise or fall of liquid due to capillarity in a beaker of water depends upon the radius of the bore of the tube (s) which is/are dipped into it. The narrower the bore of the tube, the greater is the rise or fall of the liquid in the tube. So in this case, water will rise in both the glass tube and the glass capillary tube.
