A non-isotropic solid metal cube has coefficients of linear expansion as:
$5 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ along the $\mathrm{x}$ -axis and $5 \times 10^{-6} /^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ along the $y$ and the $z-$axis. If the coefficient of volume expansion of the solid is $\mathrm{C} \times 10^{-6} /^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ then the value of $\mathrm{C}$ is
A
$55$
B
$63$
C
$67$
D
$60$
(JEE MAIN-2020)
Solution
$\gamma=\alpha_{\mathrm{x}}+\alpha_{\mathrm{y}}+\alpha_{\mathrm{z}}$
$=5 \times 10^{-5}+5 \times 10^{-6}+5 \times 10^{-6}$
$=(50+5+5) \times 10^{-6}$
$\gamma=60 \times 10^{-6}$
$C=60$
