A surveyor's $30$-$m$ steel tape is correct at some temperutre. On a hot day the tape has expanded to $30.01$ $m$. On that day, the tape indicates a distance of $15.52$ $m$ between two points. The true distance between these points is :-

A

$15.515 $ $m$

B

$15.520$ $ m$

C

$15.525$ $m$

D

$15$

Solution

$30 (1 + \alpha \theta ) = 30.01$
$15.52 (1 + \alpha \theta ) = x$
$x = 15.52 × \frac{30.01}{30}$
