Two rods, one made of aluminium and the other made of steel, having initial lengths \(l_1\) and \(l_2\) are connected together to form a single rod of length l1+l2. The coefficient of linear expansion for aluminium and steel are αa and αs respectively. If the length of each rod increases by the same amount when their temperature is raised by \(t^\circ \mathrm{C},\) then the ratio \(\frac{l_1}{l_1+l_2}\) is:
1. αsαa

2. αaαs

3. αaαa+αs

4. αsαa+αs
