Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 96 cm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \frac{1}{8}=\left(\frac{\mu_{\ell}}{\mu_{\mathrm{s}}}-1\right)\left[\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_1}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_2}\right] \\ & \frac{1}{24}=(1.5-1)\left[\frac{2}{\mathrm{R}}\right] ...(i)\\ &…
