According to questions, $\begin{aligned}
& \frac{\ell_{\mathrm{s}}}{\ell_{\mathrm{b}}}=\mathrm{a}, \frac{\mathrm{r}{\mathrm{s}}}{\mathrm{r}{\mathrm{b}}}=\mathrm{b}, \frac{\mathrm{y}{\mathrm{s}}}{\mathrm{y}{\mathrm{b}}}=\mathrm{c}, \frac{\Delta \ell \mathrm{s}}{\Delta \ell_{\mathrm{b}}}=? \
& \text { As, } \mathrm{y}=\frac{\mathrm{F} \ell}{\mathrm{A} \Delta \ell} \Rightarrow \Delta \ell=\frac{\mathrm{F} \ell}{\mathrm{Ay}} \
& \Delta \ell_{\mathrm{s}}=\frac{3 \mathrm{mg} \ell_{\mathrm{s}}}{\pi \mathrm{r}{\mathrm{s}}^2 \cdot \mathrm{y}{\mathrm{s}}}\left[\because \mathrm{F}{\mathrm{s}}=(\mathrm{M}+2 \mathrm{M}) \mathrm{g}\right] \
& \Delta \ell{\mathrm{b}}=\frac{2 \mathrm{Mg}\ell_{\mathrm{b}}}{\pi \mathrm{r}{\mathrm{b}}^2 \cdot \mathrm{y}{\mathrm{b}}}\left[\because \mathrm{F}{\mathrm{b}}=2 \mathrm{Mg}\right]
\end{aligned}\therefore \frac{\Delta \ell{\mathrm{s}}}{\Delta \ell_{\mathrm{b}}}=\frac{\frac{3 \mathrm{Mg} \ell_{\mathrm{s}}}{\pi \mathrm{r}{\mathrm{s}}^2 \cdot \mathrm{y}{\mathrm{s}}}}{\frac{2 \mathrm{Mg} \cdot \ell_{\mathrm{b}}}{\pi \mathrm{r}{\mathrm{b}}^2 \cdot \mathrm{y}{\mathrm{b}}}}=\frac{3 \mathrm{a}}{2 \mathrm{b}^2 \mathrm{C}}$

When a part of a straight capillary tube is placed vertically in a liquid, the liquid raises upto certain height $h$. If the inner radius of the capillary tube, density of the liquid and surface tension of the liquid decrease by $1 \%$ each, then the height of the liquid in the tube will change by $\%$.
