  • A 2.0 x 10-6K-1
  • B 2.1 x 10-6K-1
  • C 4.2 x 10-6K-1
  • D 6.3 x 10-6K-1
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
If the lineal expansivity = ∠
=> area expansivity β= 2∠.
And cubic expansivity δ = 3∠.
=> 6.3 x 10-6 = 3∠
− ∠ = − ∠ = 6.3 x 10-6 = 2.1x 10-6
__3




− Area = 2∠ = 2 x 2.1x10-6
= 4.2 x 10-6K-1
