Question
Assertion : The shape of a liquid drop is spherical.
Reason : The pressure inside the drop is greater than that of outside.
Reason : The pressure inside the drop is greater than that of outside.
✓
Answer
(b) The free surface of liquid tries to acquire a minimum area due to surface tension, hence liquid drop is spherical because sphere has minimum area than other shape.
