$A$ certain number of spherical drops of a liquid of radius $r$ coalesce to form a single drop of radius $R$ and volume $V.$ If $T$ is the surface tension of the liquid,then

  • A
    energy $= 4VT \left( \frac{1}{r} - \frac{1}{R} \right)$ is released.
  • B
    energy $= 3VT \left( \frac{1}{r} + \frac{1}{R} \right)$ is absorbed.
  • C
    energy $= 3VT \left( \frac{1}{r} - \frac{1}{R} \right)$ is released.
  • D
    energy is neither released nor absorbed.
