The coefficient of apparent expansion of a liquid,when determined using two different vessels $A$ and $B$,are $\gamma_1$ and $\gamma_2$ respectively. If the coefficient of linear expansion of vessel $A$ is $\alpha$,then the coefficient of linear expansion of vessel $B$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{\alpha \gamma_1 \gamma_2}{\gamma_1 + \gamma_2}$
  • B
    $\frac{\gamma_1 - \gamma_2}{2\alpha}$
  • C
    $\frac{\gamma_1 - \gamma_2 + \alpha}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{\gamma_1 - \gamma_2}{3} + \alpha$
