v is proportional to R^2.

V2/V1 = R^2\r^2.
V2/V1 = 20^2/10^2.
V2 = 4 * V1.
So, Answer D.

So, from this:

Vt = (g*dp^2*(raup - rauf))/(18*(viscocity)).

VA = (1/4) of VB.

This answer is wrong. It should be four times. That is option d.

@Manoj.

Diameter = 2* radius.

Not; Radius = 2* diameter.

Answer is D. As u is proportional to the square of D.

Vt proportional d^2.

So, option D is right.
