An equilateral triangle ABC is formed by joining three rods of equal length and D is the mid-point of AB. The coefficient of linear expansion for AB is α1 and for AC and BC is α2. The relation between α1 and α2, if distance DC remains constant for small changes in temperature is

a
α1=α2
b
α1=4α2
c
α2=4α1
d
α1=12α2

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Before and after changing the temperature, l22−l124=l2(1+at)2−14l1(1+at)2and l1 = l2
