The relation between the coefficient of real expansion $(\gamma_r)$ and coefficient of apparent expansion $(\gamma_a)$ of a liquid and the coefficient of linear expansion $(\alpha_g)$ of the material of the container is:

  • A
    $\gamma_r = \alpha_g + \gamma_a$
  • B
    $\gamma_r = \alpha_g + 3 \gamma_a$
  • C
    $\gamma_r = 3 \alpha_g + \gamma_a$
  • D
    $\gamma_r = 3(\alpha_g + \gamma_a)$
