Two wires A and B of the same cross sectional areas, Young's moduli Y1 and Y2 and coefficients of linear expansion α1 and α2 respectively are joined together and fixed between rigid supports at either ends. The tension in the compound wire when wire A is heated and wire B is cooled at different temperature is same when wire A alone is cooled at the same temperature as wire B earlier. Find correct option.

Tension in any wire, F = YA αtGiven Y2A2α2t2-Y1A1α1t1 = Y1A1α1t2 Y2A2α2t2 = Y1A1α1(t1+t2) (t1+t2)t2 = Y2A2α2Y1A1α1or t1-t2t2 = Y2A2α2-2Y1A1α1Y1A1α1 ∆tt2 = Y2α2-2Y1α1Y1α1 (since A1 = A2)For ∆t > 0Y2α2 > 2Y1α1or Y22Y1>α1α2
