$A$ piece of metal weighs $46 \, g$ in air. When it is immersed in a liquid of specific gravity $1.24$ at $27^{\circ}C$,it weighs $30 \, g$. When the temperature of the liquid is raised to $42^{\circ}C$,the metal piece weighs $30.5 \, g$ and the specific gravity of the liquid at $42^{\circ}C$ is $1.20$. Calculate the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal.

  • A
    $3.316 \times 10^{-5} \, ^{\circ}C^{-1}$
  • B
    $2.316 \times 10^{-5} \, ^{\circ}C^{-1}$
  • C
    $4.316 \times 10^{-5} \, ^{\circ}C^{-1}$
  • D
    None of these
