A pendulum clock loses 12s a day if the temperature is `40^@C` and gains 4s a day if the temperature is `20^@C`, The temperature at which the clock will show correct time, and the co-efficient of linear expansion `(alpha)` of the metal of the pendulum shaft are respectively:

A

`60^@C, alpha=1.85xx10^-4//^@C`

B

30^@C, alpha=1.85xx10^-3//^@C

C

55^@C, alpha=1.85xx10^-2//^@C

D

25^@C, alpha=1.85xx10^-5//^@C
