When a block of iron floats in Hg at $0°C$, a fraction $K_1$ of its volumen= is submerged, while at temperature of $60°C$ a fraction $K_2$ is seen to be submersed. If the coefficient of volume expansion of iron is ${\gamma }_{Fe}$ and that of mercury is ${\gamma }_{Hg}$, then the ratio $\frac{K_1}{K_2}$ can be expressed as:

1. $\frac{1+60{\gamma }_{Fe}}{1+60{\gamma }_{Hg}}$

2. $\frac{1-60{\gamma }_{Fe}}{1+60{\gamma }_{Hg}}$

3. $\frac{1+60{\gamma }_{Fe}}{1-60{\gamma }_{Hg}}$

4. $\frac{1+60{\gamma }_{He}}{1-60{\gamma }_{Fe}}$

A pendulum clock runs faster by \(5\) s per day at \(20^{\circ}\mathrm {C}\) and goes slow by \(10\) s per day at \(35^{\circ}\mathrm {C}\). It shows the correct time at a temperature of:
1. \(27.5^{\circ}\mathrm {C}\)
2. \(25^{\circ}\mathrm {C}\)
3. \(30^{\circ}\mathrm {C}\)
4. \(33^{\circ}\mathrm {C}\)

The coefficients of linear expansion of brass and steel rods are \(\alpha_1\) and \(\alpha_2\), lengths of brass and steel rods are \(l_1\) and \(l_2\) respectively. If (\(l_2-l_1\)) is maintained the same at all temperatures, Which one of the following relations holds good?
1. \(\alpha_1 l_2^2=\alpha_2l_1^2\)
2. \(\alpha_1^2 l_2=\alpha_2^2l_1\)
3. \(\alpha_1 l_1=\alpha_2l_2\)
4. \(\alpha_1 l_2=\alpha_2l_1\)
