Solution

The correct option is B 2.69 cm3
Due to increase in the temperature, both the mercury and the glass vessel will expand

Increase in the volume of mercury

=VγmercuryΔT

=(200)×1.8×104×(10020)

=2.88 cm3

Increase in the volume of glass

=VγglassΔT

=(200)×1.2×105×(10020)

=0.192 cm3.

So, the amount as mercury that will overflow
=(2.8800.192)=2.688=2.69 cm3

Hence, option (B) is correct.
Volume of overflow =VΔT(γmercuryγglass)
