A thin cylindrical metal rod is bent into a ring with a small gap as shown in figure. On heating the system

A

x decreases, r and d increase

B

x and r increase, d decreases

C

x, r and d all increase

D

Data insufficient to arrive at a conclusion

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
