A certain number of spherical drops of a liquid of radius r coalesce to form a single drop of radius R and volume V. If T is the surface tension of the liquid, then:\(\text { Energy }=4 V T\left(\frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R}\right) \text { is released } \)

1. Energy = \(4 V T\left(\frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R}\right)\) is released 2. Energy =\(3 V T\left(\frac{1}{r}+\frac{1}{R}\right)\)  is released
3. Energy =\(3 V T\left(\frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R}\right)\) is released 4. Energy is neither released nor absorbed
