Two rods of different materials having coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha_1$and $\alpha_2$ and  Young's modulii $Y_1$ and $Y_2$ respectively are fixed between two rigid massive walls. The rods are heated such that they undergo the same increase in temperature. There is no bending of rods. If  $\alpha_1:\alpha_2= 2 : 3$, the thermal stress developed in two rods are equal provided $Y_1 : Y_2$ is equal to
