Solution
The correct option is D bend with copper on convex side Given: αcopper>αsteel
Increase in length of copper will be greater than steel (αc>αs).
Since (αc) is larger so increase in length will be more in this case which will be restricted by steel which results in bending and to accommodate that concavity comes towards steel and convexity on copper side.
