Solution

The correct option is B ρ2=ρ11+γΔT
The volumetric expansion can be expressed as,
V2=V1(1+γΔT)
where, V1 is the initial volume, V2 is the final volume, γ is the coefficient of linear expansion and ΔT is the change in temperature.
Let ρ1 be the density of liquid when the volume is V1 and ρ2 be the density of the liquid when the volume is V2.
We know volume=massdensity
Mass m of the liquid remains constant.
mρ2=mρ1(1+γΔT)
or, ρ2=ρ11+γΔT
