At some temperature $T$, a bronze pin is a little large to fit into a hole drilled in a steel block. The change in temperature required for an exact fit is minimum when

A

Only the block is heated

B

Both block and pin are heated together

C

Both block and pin are cooled together

D

Only the pin is cooled

Solution

(a) Since coefficient of expansion of steel is greater than that of bronze.

Hence with small increase in it's temperature the hole expand sufficiently.
