The coefficient of apparent expansion of mercury in a glass vessel is $153 \times 10^{-6}/^{\circ}C$ and in a steel vessel is $144 \times 10^{-6}/^{\circ}C$. If $\alpha$ for steel is $12 \times 10^{-6}/^{\circ}C$,then $\alpha$ for glass is:

  • A
    $9 \times 10^{-6}/^{\circ}C$
  • B
    $6 \times 10^{-6}/^{\circ}C$
  • C
    $36 \times 10^{-6}/^{\circ}C$
  • D
    $27 \times 10^{-6}/^{\circ}C$
