What must be the lengths of steel and copper rods at 0°C for the difference in their lengths to be 10 cm at any common temperature?

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Temperature-independent difference requires αsLs=αcLc.

With coefficients 1.2 and 1.8, Ls/Lc=1.5 and difference 10 cm, giving 30 cm and 20 cm.
