When a capillary tube is dipped in water,it rises up to $8 \ cm$ in the tube. What happens when the tube is pushed down such that its end is only $5 \ cm$ above the outside water level?

$A$ glass rod of radius $r_1$ is inserted symmetrically into a vertical capillary tube of radius $r_2$ $(r_1 < r_2)$ such that their lower ends are at the same level. The arrangement is dipped in water. The height to which water will rise into the tube will be ($\rho =$ density of water,$T =$ surface tension of water,$g =$ acceleration due to gravity).

This question has Statement-$I$ and Statement-$II$. Of the four choices given after the statements,choose the one that best describes the two statements.
Statement-$I$: $A$ capillary is dipped in a liquid and liquid rises to a height $h$ in it. As the temperature of the liquid is raised,the height $h$ increases (if the density of the liquid and the angle of contact remain the same).
Statement-$II$: Surface tension of a liquid decreases with the rise in its temperature.

When a capillary tube is immersed in water vertically,water rises to a height $h$ inside the tube. If the radius of another capillary tube is $\frac{1}{3}$ that of the previous,the height to which water will rise in this tube is:

Why does the water rise in a capillary tube? Explain.
