$A$ flask of volume $10^3 \ cc$ is completely filled with mercury at $0 \, ^oC$. The coefficient of cubical expansion of mercury is $180 \times 10^{-6} / ^oC$ and that of glass is $40 \times 10^{-6} / ^oC$. If the flask is now placed in boiling water at $100 \, ^oC$,how much mercury (in $cc$) will overflow?

  • A
    $7$
  • B
    $14$
  • C
    $21$
  • D
    $28$
