$A$ circular copper ring at $30^{\circ} C$ has a hole with an area of $9.98 \ cm^2$. It is made to slip onto a steel rod of cross-sectional area of $10 \ cm^2$, by raising the temperature of both the ring and the rod simultaneously by an amount $\Delta T$. If the coefficients of linear expansion of copper and steel are $17 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$ and $11 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$ respectively, then the minimum value of $\Delta T$ should be: (in $^{\circ} C$)

  • A
    $167.6$
  • B
    $133.3$
  • C
    $83.3$
  • D
    $249.9$
