A clock with a metal pendulum beating seconds keeps correct time at 0°C . If it loses 12.5s a day at 25°C , the coefficient of linear expansion of metal pendulum is

a
186400/0C
b
143200/0C
c
114400/0C
d
128800/0C

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Time loss (or) gain per day=12×αΔt×8640012.5=12×α×25×86400α=186,400/∘C
