A rod of length $20 \,\,cm$ is made of metal. It expands by $0.075\,\, cm$ when its temperature is raised from $0^o C$ to $100^o C$. Another rod of a different metal $B$ having the same length expands by $0.045 cm$ for the same change in temperature, a third rod of the same length is composed of two parts one of metal $A$ and the other of metal $B$. Thus rod expand by $0.06 \,\,cm$.for the same change in temperature. The portion made of metal $A$ has the length .............. $cm$
