A student records the initial length $l$, change in temperature $\Delta T$ and change in length $\Delta l$ of a rod as follows :
S.No. | $l(m)$ | $\Delta T{(^o}C)$ | $\Delta l(m)$ |
$(1)$ | $2$ | $10$ | $4\times 10^{-4}$ |
$(2)$ | $1$ | $10$ | $4\times 10^{-4}$ |
$(3)$ | $2$ | $20$ | $2\times 10^{-4}$ |
$(4)$ | $3$ | $10$ | $6\times 10^{-4}$ |
