The difference in length between two rods $A$ and $B$ is $60 \ cm$ at all temperatures. If $\alpha_A = 18 \times 10^{-6} /^{\circ}C$ and $\alpha_B = 27 \times 10^{-6} /^{\circ}C$,then the lengths of rod $A$ and rod $B$ at $0^{\circ}C$ are respectively:

  • A
    $\ell_{A} = 120 \ cm, \ell_{B} = 60 \ cm$.
  • B
    $\ell_{A} = 180 \ cm, \ell_{B} = 120 \ cm$.
  • C
    $\ell_{A} = 240 \ cm, \ell_{B} = 180 \ cm$.
  • D
    $\ell_{A} = 270 \ cm, \ell_{B} = 210 \ cm$.
