A steel scale measures the length of a copper wire as \[80.0\,cm,\] when both are at \[20{}^\circ C\] (the calibration temperature for scale). What would be the scale read for the length of the wire when both are at \[40{}^\circ C\]? (Given asteel \[=11\times {{10}^{-6}}\]per°C and acopper \[=17\times {{10}^{-6}}per\,{}^\circ C\]) [CPMT 2004]

• A. \[80.0096\,cm\]
• B. \[80.0272\,cm\]
• C. \[1\,cm\]
• D. \[25.2\,cm\]
