The correct answer is: 0.12 m
Let the radius of curvature of the common internal film surface of the double bubble formed by two bubbles A and B be r.



Excess of pressure as compared to the atmosphere inside A is

p1=4Tr1=4T0.03

Excess of pressure inside B is

p2=4Tr2=4T0.04

In the double bubble, the pressure difference between A and B on either side of the common surface is

4T0.03-4T0.04=4Tr

 10.03-10.04=1r

 r=0.03×0.040.01=0.12 m
