    If an anisotropic solid has coefficients of linear expansion \[{{\alpha }_{x}},\,\,{{\alpha }_{y}}\] and \[{{\alpha }_{z}}\] for three mutually perpendicular directions in the solid, its coefficient of volume expansion will be

    A)  \[{{({{\alpha }_{x}}\,{{\alpha }_{y}}\,{{\alpha }_{z}})}^{1/3}}\]   

    B)  \[{{\alpha }_{x}}+{{\alpha }_{y}}+{{\alpha }_{z}}\]

    C)  \[{{(\alpha _{x}^{2}+\alpha _{y}^{2}+\alpha _{z}^{2})}^{1/2}}\]               

    D)  \[{{(\sqrt{{{\alpha }_{x}}}+\sqrt{{{\alpha }_{y}}}+\sqrt{{{\alpha }_{z}}})}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     For anisotropic solids\[\rho ={{\alpha }_{x}}+{{\alpha }_{y}}+{{\alpha }_{z}}\]where \[{{\alpha }_{x}},\,\,{{\alpha }_{y}}\] and \[{{\alpha }_{z}}\] represent the mean coefficient of linear expansion along three mutually perpendicular directions.
