When a liquid in a glass vessel is heated, its apparent expansion coefficient is `10.30 xx 10^(-4) .^(@)C^(-1)`. When the same liquid is heated in a metal vessel, its apparent expansion coeffiecient is `10.06 xx 10^(-4) .^(@)C^(-1)`. If the coefficient of linear expansion of glass = `9 xx 10^(-6) .^(@)C^(-1)`, what is the coefficient of linear expansion of metal?

Options

A. `51 xx 10^(-6).^(@)C^(-1)`
B. `17 xx 10^(-6).^(@)C^(-1)`
C. `25 xx 10^(-6).^(@)C^(-1)`
D. `43 xx 10^(-6).^(@)C^(-1)`

Answer

B
