Two rods of same mass and same length lo but having different coefficient of expansions α and 3α are joined at P (see figure). System is placed on frictionless surface. If
temperature of whole system is changed by T, the displacement of junction point is
 

a
l∘αΔT
b
2l∘αΔT
c
l0αΔT2
d
34l0αΔT

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Net force on the system is zero hence displacement of the centre of mass of the system will be zero.Let x be the shift in P, thenml∘2(1+αΔT)+x=ml∘2(1+3αΔT)−x⇒x=l0αΔT2∴  (3)
