$A$ blacksmith fixes an iron ring on the rim of the wooden wheel of a horse cart. The diameter of the rim and the iron ring are $5.243\; m$ and $5.231\; m$,respectively at $27^{\circ}C$. To what temperature (in $^{\circ}C$) should the ring be heated so as to fit the rim of the wheel? (Given: coefficient of linear expansion of iron $\alpha = 1.20 \times 10^{-5} K^{-1}$)

  • A
    $186$
  • B
    $218$
  • C
    $293$
  • D
    $312$
