Three rods of equal length $l$  are joined to form an equilateral triangle $PQR.$  $O$  is the mid point of $PQ.$  Distance $OR$  remains same for small change in temperature. Coefficient of linear expansion for $PR$ and $RQ$  is same, $i.e., \alpha _2$  but that for $PQ$  is $\alpha _1.$ Then

829-364

  • A

    $\alpha _2\,\,=\,\,3\alpha _1$

  • B

    $\alpha _2\,\,=\,\,4\alpha _1$

  • C

    $\alpha _1\,\,=\,\,3\alpha _2$

  • D

    $\alpha _1\,\,=\,\,4\alpha _2$
