The ratio of the linear expansivity of copper to that of iron is approximately 1.5. A specimen of iron and a specimen of copper expands by the same amount per unit rise in temperature. The ratio of their length is

1.5
1.32

0.67
Correct answer is E
\(\alpha_1\)L1 = \(\alpha_2\)L2
\(\frac{L_1}{L_2}\) = \(\frac{\alpha_1}{1.5\alpha_2}\) (since a1- 1.5\(\alpha_2\))
\(\frac{L_1}{L_2}\) = 0.67
