The excess pressure inside a spherical drop of water is three times that of another
drop of water. The ratio of their surface area is

  1. A \(3: 1\)
  2. B \(6: 1\)
  3. C \(1: 9\)
  4. D \(1: 3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1: 9\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Excess pressure \(p=\frac{2 T}{r}\)
\(\frac{p_{1}}{p_{2}}=\frac{r_{2}}{r_{1}}=3\)
\(\begin{array}{l}
\therefore r_{2}=3 r_{1} \\
\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}=\frac{\pi r_{1}^{2}}{\pi r_{2}^{2}}=\left(\frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}}\right)^{2}=\frac{1}{(3)^{2}}=\frac{1}{9}
\end{array}\)
