Two rods of different materials but identical geometry have thermal coefficients of linear expansion as α and 5α. The rods are fixed between two rigid and massive walls and are heated to the same temperature. If there is no bending of the rods and the thermal stresses developed in them are equal, then the ratio of their Young's moduli is:

(1) 1: 1

(2) 1: 25

(3) 1: 10

(4) 5: 1
