Given below are two statements:

Statement I: If a capillary tube is immersed first in cold water and then in hot water, the height of capillary rise will be smaller in hot water.

Statement II: If a capillary tube is immersed first in cold water and then in hot water, the height of capillary rise will be smaller in cold water.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate from the options given below
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Statement I is true and Statement II is false because the height of capillary rise is inversely proportional to the surface tension, which decreases with increasing temperature.

Assertion(A): A solid sphere and a hollow sphere both of same material are immersed in a liquid, then change in weight in both the spheres will be same.

Reason(R): Upthrust depends upon the volume of the solid immersed not the mass.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
If both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
Option A (If both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion) is correct because upthrust depends on the volume of the immersed object, which determines the weight of the displaced fluid, hence affecting the change in weight.
