The coefficient of apparent expansion of mercury in a glass vessel is $132 \times 10^{-6} /^{\circ}C$ and in a steel vessel is $114 \times 10^{-6} /^{\circ}C$. If $\alpha$ for steel is $12 \times 10^{-6} /^{\circ}C$,then that of glass is:

  • A
    $9 \times 10^{-6} /^{\circ}C$
  • B
    $6 \times 10^{-6} /^{\circ}C$
  • C
    $36 \times 10^{-6} /^{\circ}C$
  • D
    $27 \times 10^{-6} /^{\circ}C$
