Excess Pressure: Drops & Bubbles

The excess pressure inside a spherical water drop A is four times that of another water drop B. Then, the ratio of the mass of water drop A to that of drop B is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

$\Delta P = \frac{2T}{r} \propto \frac{1}{r}$ ; $\Delta P_A = 4\Delta P_B \Rightarrow r_A = \frac{r_B}{4}$ .
$\frac{m_A}{m_B} = \left(\frac{r_A}{r_B}\right)^3 = \frac{1}{64}$
So the answer is (d) $1 : 64$ .
