A copper rod of length $l_1$ and an iron rod of length $l_2$ are always maintained at the same common temperature $T$. If the difference $(l_2 -l_1)$ is $15\,cm$ and is independent of the value of $T,$ the $l_1$ and $l_2$ have the values (given the linear coefficient of expansion for copper and iron are $2.0 \times 10^{-6}\,C^{-1}$ and $1.0\times10^{-6}\,C^{ -1}$  respectively)
