detailed solution

Correct option is B

Loss of weight at 27"C is          =46−30=16=V1×1.24ρl×g …………..(i)Loss of weight at 42"C is          =46−30.5=15.5=V2×1.2ρl×g ………..(ii)Now dividing (i) by (ii), we get 1615.5=V1V2×1.241.2But V1V2=1+3αt2−t1=15.5×1.2416×1.2=1.001042⇒ 3α42∘−27∘=0.001042⇒α=2.316×10−5/∘C
