Q1.

Three liquids have the same surface tension and densities $\rho_1, \rho_2$,and $\rho_3$ $(\rho_1 \gt \rho_2 \gt \rho_3)$. In three identical capillaries,the rise of the liquid is the same. The corresponding angles of contact $\theta_1, \theta_2$,and $\theta_3$ are related as:

(A)
$\theta_1 \gt \theta_2 \gt \theta_3$
(B)
$\theta_1 \gt \theta_3 \gt \theta_2$
(C)
$\theta_1 \lt \theta_2 \lt \theta_3$
(D)
$\theta_1 = \theta_2 = \theta_3$
