The graph between two temperature scales \(A\) and \(B\) is shown in the figure. Between upper fixed point and lower fixed point there are \(150\) equal division on scale \(A\) and \(100\) on scale \(B.\) The relationship for conversion between the two scales is given by:
             
1. \(\dfrac{t_A-180}{100}=\dfrac{t_B}{150} \)
2. \(\dfrac{t_A-30}{150}=\dfrac{t_B}{100} \)
3. \(\dfrac{t_B-180}{150}=\dfrac{t_A}{100} \)
4. \(\dfrac{t_B-40}{100}=\dfrac{t_A}{180}\)

A circular metallic ring of radius \(R\) has a small gap of width \(d.\) The coefficient of thermal expansion of the metal is \(\alpha\) in appropriate units. If we increase the temperature of the ring by an amount \(\Delta T,\) then the width of the gap:
1. will increase by an amount of \(d\alpha \Delta T\)
2. will not change
3. will increase by an amount \(\left ( 2\pi R-d \right )\alpha \Delta T\)
4. will decrease by an amount of \(d\alpha \Delta T\)
