Let $L_{0}$ be the initial length of each strip before heating.Length after heating will be

$L_{B} = L_{0} (1 + α_{B} Δ T) = (R + d) θ$

$L_{C} = L_{0} (1 + α_{C} Δ T) = R θ \Rightarrow \frac{R + d}{R} = \frac{1 + α_{B} Δ T}{1 + α_{C} Δ T}$

Question Image

$\Rightarrow 1 + \frac{d}{R} = 1 + (α_{B} - α_{C}) Δ T$

$\Rightarrow R = \frac{d}{(α_{B} - α_{C}) Δ T} \Rightarrow R \propto \frac{1}{Δ T}$

$and R \propto \frac{1}{(α_{B} - α_{C})}$
