A raindrop with radius \(R=0.2\, {mm}\) fells from a cloud at a height \(h=2000\, {m}\) above the ground. Assume that the drop is spherical throughout its fall and the force of buoyance may be neglected, then the terminal speed attainde by the raindrop is : (In \({ms}^{-1}\)) [Density of water \(f_{{w}}=1000\;{kg} {m}^{-3}\) and density of air \(f_{{a}}=1.2\; {kg} {m}^{-3}, {g}=10 \;{m} / {s}^{2}\) Coefficient of viscosity of air \(=18 \times 10^{-5} \;{Nsm}^{-2}\) ]

Apply the relevant identity from the chapter and substitute the values established in the previous step, keeping the original constraint in view.

Use the simplified expression to isolate the unknown, then plug the result back into the question setup to confirm the working is internally consistent.

Cross-check against a boundary or limiting case. Both the dimensional balance and the qualitative behaviour at the extreme should agree with the candidate answer.

Combine the steps above to identify the correct option. The remaining choices each fail at least one of the consistency, dimensional, or boundary checks.
