Analyzing +4 | -1
Assertion(A): If angle of contact is 90∘90^{\circ}, then liquid will neither rise nor fall in a capillary.

Reason(R): When angle of contact is 90∘90^{\circ}, surface is neither convex nor concave inside the capillary. It is flat.

Correct option: B
If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
Option B is correct. Both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason does not fully explain why the liquid neither rises nor falls. The angle of contact determines the shape of the meniscus, which affects the pressure difference and thus the rise or fall.
