The coefficient of apparent expansion of a liquid when determined using two different vessels $A$ and  $B$ are $\gamma_1$ and $\gamma_2$ respectively. If the coefficient of linear expansion of vessel  $A$  is $\alpha$, the coefficient of linear expansion of vessel $B$ is

  • A

    $\frac{{\alpha {\gamma _1}{\gamma _2}}}{{{\gamma _1} + {\gamma _2}}}$

  • B

    $\frac{{{\gamma _1} - {\gamma _2}}}{{2\alpha }}$

  • C

    $\frac{{{\gamma _1} - {\gamma _2} + \alpha }}{3}$

  • D

    $\frac{{{\gamma _1} - {\gamma _2}}}{3} + \alpha $
