Two rods of different materials will have same different in lengths at all temperatures if they have same expansions then , given(α1,α2 are coefficient of linear expansions; l1,l2 are lengths of rods)
l2α2=l2α1
l1α1=l2α2
l1α1>l2α2
l1α2<l2α1
given ∆l1=∆l2 (difference in lengths is same) ⇒l1α1∆t=l2α2∆t ( given at all temperature) ⇒l1α1=l2α2
