Options:

A) 1 : 3

B) 1 : 9

C) 27 : 1

D) 1 : 27

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

$ \Delta P\propto \frac{1}{r}\Rightarrow \frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}}=\frac{\Delta P_{2}}{\Delta P_{1}}=\frac{1}{3}\Rightarrow \frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}}={{\left( \frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}} \right)}^{3}}=\frac{1}{27} $
