Three rods of equal length $l$ are joined to form an equilateral triangle $PQR.$ $O$ is the midpoint of $PQ.$ The distance $OR$ remains the same for a small change in temperature. The coefficient of linear expansion for $PR$ and $RQ$ is the same,i.e.,$\alpha_2,$ but that for $PQ$ is $\alpha_1.$ Then the relation between $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$ is:

  • A
    $\alpha_2 = 3\alpha_1$
  • B
    $\alpha_2 = 4\alpha_1$
  • C
    $\alpha_1 = 3\alpha_2$
  • D
    $\alpha_1 = 4\alpha_2$
