When a block of iron floats in mercury at 0°C, a fraction k1 of its volume is submerged, while at 60°C, a fraction k2 is seen to be submerged, If the coefficient of volume expansion of iron is γFe and that of mercury is γHg, then the ratio of k1/k2 can be expressed as

1. 1+60γFe1+60γHe

2. 1-60γFe1+60γHe

3. 1+60γFe1-60γHe

4. 1+60γHg1+60γFe
