Answer:BIG RAINDROP WILL FALL FASTER.
Explanation:ANSWER IS SIMPLE. THE TERMINAL VELOCITY IS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO THE SQUARE OF THE RADIUS OF THE BODY. THAT IS WHY BIGGER RAIN DROP FALLS WITH LARGER VELOCITY COMPARED TO THE SMALLER RAIN DROP.

Bigger drop will fall faster than the smaller drops, on a generalized condition.
1) This corrosponds to a term called terminal velocity.
2) This terminal velocity is directly proportional to the radius of a body. So as larger droplets have larger radius, it seemingly has a larger terminal velocity and thus it falls faster.
3) But mordern science researchers have proven that this may not always be the case.
