  3. C volume
  4. D density
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) volume

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The ratio of coefficients of linear, surface and volume expansions are given as \[ \alpha: \beta: \gamma=1: 2: 3 \] Hence, we see that coefficient of volume expansion is maximum. Therefore, when a body is heated, then maximum rise will be in its volume.
