The length of a spring is $\alpha $ when a force of $4\,N$ is applied on it and the length is $\beta $ when $5\,N$ force is applied. Then the length of spring when $9\,N$ force is applied is

  • A

    $5\beta -4\alpha $

  • B

    $\beta -\alpha $

  • C

    $5\alpha -4\beta $

  • D

    $9(\beta  - \alpha )$
