The coefficient of apparent expansion of mercury in a glass vessel is  $153 × 10^{-6}{°C^{-1}}$ and in a steel vessel is $144 × 10^{-6}{°C^{-1}}$. If $\alpha$ for steel is $12 × 10^{-6}{°C^{-1}}$, then that of glass is

  • A

    $9  \times 10{^{-6}}{°C^{-1}}$

  • B

    $6  \times 10{^{-6}}{°C^{-1}}$

  • C

    $36 \times 10{^{-6}}{°C^{-1}}$

  • D

    $27  \times 10{^{-6}}{°C^{-1}}$
