    Two uniform metal rods of lengths \[{{l}_{1}}\]and \[{{l}_{2}}\]and linear coefficients of expansion \[{{\alpha }_{1}}\] and \[{{\alpha }_{2}}\]respectively are connected to form a single rod of length \[({{l}_{1}}+{{l}_{2}}).\]When the temperature of the combined rod is raised by t °C, the length of each rod increases by the same amount. Then \[\left( \frac{{{\alpha }_{2}}}{{{\alpha }_{1}}+{{\alpha }_{2}}} \right)\] is:

    A)  \[\frac{{{l}_{1}}}{\left( {{l}_{1}}+{{l}_{2}} \right)}\]                                          

    B)  \[\frac{\left( {{l}_{1}}+{{l}_{2}} \right)}{{{l}_{1}}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{{{l}_{2}}}{\left( {{l}_{1}}+{{l}_{2}} \right)}\]                                          

    D)  \[\frac{({{l}_{1}}+{{l}_{2}})}{{{l}_{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     Initial length of I rod \[={{l}_{1}}\] Initial length of II rod \[={{l}_{2}}\] Linear coefficient of 1 rod \[={{\alpha }_{1}}\] Linear coefficient of II rod\[={{\alpha }_{2}}\] If temperature of combined rod increases by \[t{{\,}^{o}}C,\]then increase in length in I rod \[\Delta {{l}_{2}}=\frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{\alpha }_{1}}t}\] Increase in length of II rod \[\Delta {{l}_{2}}=\frac{{{l}_{2}}}{{{\alpha }_{2}}t}\] and        \[\Delta {{l}_{1}}=\Delta {{l}_{2}}\]  \[\therefore \]     \[\frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{\alpha }_{1}}t}=\frac{{{l}_{2}}}{{{\alpha }_{2}}t}\Rightarrow \frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{\alpha }_{1}}}=\frac{{{l}_{2}}}{{{\alpha }_{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{{{\alpha }_{2}}}{{{\alpha }_{1}}}=\frac{{{l}_{2}}}{{{l}_{1}}}\Rightarrow \frac{{{\alpha }_{1}}}{{{\alpha }_{2}}}=\frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{{{\alpha }_{1}}}{{{\alpha }_{2}}}+1=\frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{2}}}+1\] \[\frac{{{\alpha }_{1}}+{{\alpha }_{2}}}{{{\alpha }_{2}}}=\frac{{{l}_{1}}+{{l}_{2}}}{{{l}_{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{{{\alpha }_{2}}}{{{\alpha }_{1}}+{{\alpha }_{2}}}=\frac{{{l}_{2}}}{{{l}_{1}}+{{l}_{2}}}\]
