$A$ piece of metal has a weight of $49 \ gm$ in air and $39 \ gm$ in a liquid of density $1.2 \times 10^3 \ kg/m^3$ kept at $32^{\circ}C$. When the temperature of the liquid is raised to $42^{\circ}C$, the metal piece has a weight of $40 \ gm$. If the density of the liquid at $42^{\circ}C$ is $1.0 \times 10^3 \ kg/m^3$, then the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is:

  • A
    $\frac{8}{3} \times 10^{-3} /^{\circ}C$
  • B
    $\frac{11}{3} \times 10^{-3} /^{\circ}C$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{3} \times 10^{-4} /^{\circ}C$
  • D
    $\frac{4}{3} \times 10^{-3} /^{\circ}C$
