The coefficient of linear expansion of a vessel completely filled with $Hg$ is $1 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ} C$. If there is no overflow of $Hg$ on heating the vessel,then the coefficient of cubical expansion of $Hg$ is:

  • A
    $4 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ} C$
  • B
    $> 3 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ} C$
  • C
    $\leq 3 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ} C$
  • D
    Data is insufficient
