Two rods, one of aluminium and other made of steel, having initial lengths `l_(1) and l_(2)` are connected together to form a single rod of length `(l_(1)+l_(2))`. The coefficient of linear expansions for aluminium and steel are `alpha_(a)` and `alpha_(s)` respectively. If length of each rod increases by same amount when their tempertures are raised by `t^(@)C`, then find the ratio `l_(1) (l_(1)+l_(2))`.

A

`(alpha_(s))/(alpha_(a))`

B

`(alpha_(a))/(alpha_(s))`

C

`(alpha_(s))/((alpha_(a)+alpha_(s)))`

D

`(alpha_(a))/((alpha_(a)+alpha_(s)))`
