$A$ crystal has a coefficient of linear expansion $13 \times 10^{-7} \ K^{-1}$ in one direction and $231 \times 10^{-7} \ K^{-1}$ in every direction at right angles to it. Then the cubical coefficient of expansion is:

Two rods,one of aluminium and the other of steel,having initial lengths $L_1$ and $L_2$ are connected together to form a single rod of length $(L_1+L_2)$. The coefficients of linear expansion of aluminium and steel are $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$ respectively. If the length of each rod increases by the same amount,when their temperatures are raised by $t^{\circ}C$,then the ratio $\frac{L_1}{L_1+L_2}$ will be
