$A$ metal rod $2 \,m$ long increases in length by $1.6 \,mm$, when heated from $0^{\circ} C$ to $60^{\circ} C$. The coefficient of linear expansion of the metal rod is:

  • A
    $1.33 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$
  • B
    $1.66 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$
  • C
    $1.33 \times 10^{-3} /{ }^{\circ} C$
  • D
    $1.66 \times 10^{-3} /{ }^{\circ} C$
