Two spheres $P$ and $Q$ of equal radii have densities $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2$, respectively. The spheres are connected by a massless string and placed in liquids $L_1$ and $L_2$ of densities $\sigma_1$ and $\sigma_2$ and viscosities $\eta_1$ and $\eta_2$, respectively. They float in equilibrium with the sphere $P$ in $L_1$ and sphere $Q$ in $L _2$ and the string being taut (see figure). If sphere $P$ alone in $L _2$ has terminal velocity $\overrightarrow{ V }_{ P }$ and $Q$ alone in $L _1$ has terminal velocity $\overrightarrow{ V }_{ Q }$, then

$(A)$ $\frac{\left|\overrightarrow{ V }_{ P }\right|}{\left|\overrightarrow{ V }_{ Q }\right|}=\frac{\eta_1}{\eta_2}$ $(B)$ $\frac{\left|\overrightarrow{ V }_{ P }\right|}{\left|\overrightarrow{ V }_{ Q }\right|}=\frac{\eta_2}{\eta_1}$

$(C)$ $\overrightarrow{ V }_{ P } \cdot \overrightarrow{ V }_{ Q } > 0$ $(D)$ $\overrightarrow{ V }_{ P } \cdot \overrightarrow{ V }_{ Q } < 0$

Which falls faster, big rain drops or small rain drops ?

Small water droplets of radius $0.01 \mathrm{~mm}$ are formed in the upper atmosphere and falling with a terminal velocity of $10 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}$. Due to condensation, if $8 \mathrm{such}$ droplets are coalesced and formed a larger drop, the new terminal velocity will be ........... $\mathrm{cm} / \mathrm{s}$.
