Pick out the wrong statement pertaining to the design of the bubble cap tray of a distillation column to give stable operation and even vapour distribution.

None of these
Tendency towards stable operation is increased by increasing the skirt clearance of the caps, lowering the rate of liquid flow per unit plate width or increasing the spacing between the caps
The dimensionless ratio of liquid gradient to pressure drop head caused by the bubble cap assembly should be less than 0.4
The pressure drop due to the caps & slots and the static submergence should be as high as practicable for reasonable operation

High pressure fluid in a shell and tube heat exchanger should preferably be routed through the

Shell side, if the flow is counter-current and tube side if the flow is co-current
Shell side for smaller total pressure drop
Shell side for large overall heat transfer co-efficient
Tubes to avoid the expansion of high pressure shell construction

Pick out the wrong statement about the design of seive plate column and the bubble cap column.

Weir length for a bubble cap plate is the same as that for the seive plate
The downcomer design and the residence time in the downcomer is almost same for seive plate and bubble cap columns
Weir height in case of a bubble cap plate ranges from 50 to 150 mm and is higher than the seive plate
Weir height for a bubble cap plate column is the same as that for a seive plate column
