$A$ certain number of spherical liquid drops of radius $r$ coalesce to form a single drop of radius $R$ and volume $V$. If $T$ is the surface tension of the liquid,which one of the following statements is true for the energy $(E)$ in the process?

  • A
    $E=3 V T\left[\frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R}\right]$ is absorbed.
  • B
    $E=4 V T\left[\frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R}\right]$ is released.
  • C
    $E=3 V T\left[\frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R}\right]$ is released.
  • D
    $E=4 V T\left[\frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R}\right]$ is absorbed.
