Water rises to a height of $10 \,cm$ in a capillary tube. In which of the following conditions will it rise to a height much greater than $10 \,cm$ in a very long capillary tube?

Two narrow bores of diameters $3.0 \;mm$ and $6.0 \;mm$ are joined together to form a $U$-tube open at both ends. If the $U$-tube contains water,what is the difference (in $mm$) in its levels in the two limbs of the tube? Surface tension of water at the temperature of the experiment is $7.3 \times 10^{-2} \;N m^{-1}$. Take the angle of contact to be zero and density of water to be $1.0 \times 10^{3} \;kg m^{-3}$ $(g = 9.8 \;m s^{-2})$.

Water rises to a height of $16.3 \, cm$ in a capillary tube of height $18 \, cm$ above the water level. If the tube is cut at a height of $12 \, cm$ above the water level,then:

$A$ liquid rises to a height of $2.4 \ cm$ in a glass capillary $P$. Another glass capillary $Q$ having a diameter $80\%$ of capillary $P$ is immersed in the same liquid. The rise of liquid in capillary $Q$ is (in $cm$)
