Attempt this previous-year question. The correct option stays hidden until you choose.
Consider the following statements -
If there were no phenomenon of capillarity
1. It would be difficult to use a kerosene lamp
2. One would not be able to use a straw to consume a soft drink
3. The blotting paper would fail to function
4. The big trees that we see around would not have grown on the earth
Pick an option to check yourself.
• Correct Answer: B
• Kerosene lamp wicks and blotting paper function via capillary action; tall trees depend on capillary action in xylem for water transport.
• Drinking through a straw relies on atmospheric pressure differential, not capillarity.
