Properties Of Solids And Liquids Question 8
Question: Assertion : When a solid iron ball is heated, percentage increase is its volume is largest. Reason : Coefficient of superficial expansion is twice that of linear expansion where as coefficient of volume expansion is three time of linear expansion.
Options:
A) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
C) If assertion is true but reason is false.
D) If the assertion and reason both are false.
E) If assertion is false but reason is true.

Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
As $ \beta =2\alpha $ and $ \gamma =3\alpha $ , i.e., coefficient of volume expansion of solid is three time coefficient of linear expansion and 1.5 times the coefficient of superficial expansion, on heating a solid iron ball, percentage increase in its volume is largest.
