No the answer is (1/4) A.
v = R2
v = (2d)2
v = 4d2.
Now, v is doubled so,
2v = 8d2.
Hence v = (1/4) d2.
v = R2
v = (2d)2
v = 4d2.
Now, v is doubled so,
2v = 8d2.
Hence v = (1/4) d2.

@Manoj.
Diameter = 2* radius.
Not; Radius = 2* diameter.
Diameter = 2* radius.
Not; Radius = 2* diameter.

At low Reynolds number settling velocity is proportional to square of dp, then d is answer. While for very low or very high Reynolds velocity is proportional to underroot dp.

Vt proportional d^2.
So, option D is right.
So, option D is right.

The Correct answer is D.

Yes, D is correct, in the stokes region, settling velocity varies (D)^ (2).
Solving gives Vb= 4* Va.
Solving gives Vb= 4* Va.

Settling velocity is directly proportional to the diameter of the particle (having an increasing trend).
