A pendulum clock keeps correct time at $0\,^oC$. The thermal coefficient of linear expansion of the material of the pendulum is $\alpha $. If the temperature rises to $t\,^oC$, then the clock loses per day by (in second)

  • A

    $\alpha t$

  • B

    $\frac{1}{2}\alpha t$

  • C

    $\alpha t \times 86400$

  • D

    $\frac{1}{2}\alpha t \times 86400$
