Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

l\(_1\) = 5m, ΔT = 10c, l\(_2\) - l\(_1\) = 1mm
l\(_1\)  = 2.5m, ΔT = 5c, l\(_2\) - l\(_1\) = ?

using α = l\(_2\) - l\(_1\)
l\(_1\)ΔT

 

1
5(10)
= l\(_2\) - l\(_1\)
2.5(5)

 

l\(_2\) - l\(_2\) = 2.5(5)
5(10)
= 1
4
= 0.25mm

There is an explanation video available below.
