AIEEE 2008 Physics - Properties of Matter Question 245 English Option 2
AIEEE 2008 Physics - Properties of Matter Question 245 English Option 3
AIEEE 2008 Physics - Properties of Matter Question 245 English Option 4

Explanation

The surface tension $$(I)$$ of soap solution is less than water. Therefore rise of soap solution in the capillary tube is less as compared to water. As in the case of water. the meniscus shape of soap solution is also concave upwards.
