Answers (1)

The answer is the option (d) Will bend with steel on the concave side.

Explanation: Initially, Aluminium and Steel are fixed together in a bimetallic strip and when you heat them, the expansion in steel will be smaller than the expansion in aluminium. Hence, the steel strip will be on the concave side, whereas the aluminium strip will be on the convex side.
