Surface tension of two liquids (having same densities), $T_1$ and $T_2$, are measured using the capillary rise method utilizing two tubes with inner radii of $r_1$ and $r_2$ where $r_1 > r_2$. The measured liquid heights in these tubes are $h_1$ and $h_2$ respectively. [Ignore the weight of the liquid above the lowest point of the meniscus]. If $T_1 = T_2$, which of the following relations is satisfied?

  • A
    $h_1 < h_2$ and $T_1 = T_2$
  • B
    $h_1 = h_2$ and $T_1 = T_2$
  • C
    $h_1 > h_2$ and $T_1 = T_2$
  • D
    $h_1 > h_2$ and $T_1 < T_2$
