The coefficient of volume expansion of a solid is x times the coefficient of superficial expansion. Then x is

A

1.5

B

2

C

2.5

D

3

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a
`alpha=(beta)/(2)=(gamma)/(3)" "gamma=x beta`
`therefore" "gamma =(3)/(2)beta rArr gamma=1.5 beta`
`x=1.5`
