The correct answer is: 110th

Lets say radius of small droplets is r and that of big drop is R. Total volume of the drops will remains unchanged. Therefore, 

43πR3=100043πr3

R=10r

Now, initial surface energy is, Ui=10004πr2 S and the final surface energy is, 

Uf=4πR2 S

=1004πr2S

Clearly, Uf=110Ui.
