The figure shows a glass tube (linear co-efficient of expansion is ) completely filled with a liquid of volume expansion co-efficient . On heating length of the liquid column does not change. Choose the correct relation between and .

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Liquid volume change γΔT must equal tube volume change 3αΔT when column length is unchanged.

Hence γ=3α.
