If alpha, beta and gamma coefficient ...

If `alpha, beta` and `gamma` coefficient of linear, superficial and volume expansion respectively, then

A

`(beta)/(alpha) = 1/2`

B

`(beta)/(gamma) = 2/3`

C

`(gamma)/(alpha) = 3/2`

D

`(beta)/(alpha) = (gamma)/(beta)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
As `beta = 2alpha` and `gamma = 3alpha`
`:. (beta)/(gamma) = (2alpha)/(3alpha) = (2)/(3)`
