Again thermal expansion

Two rods of length L2 and coefficient of linear expansion α2 are connected freely to a third rod of length L1and coefficient of linear expansion α1 to form an isosceles triangle.The arrangement is supported on a knife edge at the middle point of L1 which is horizontal.The apex of the isosceles triangle is to remain at a constant distance from the knife edge if
(A) L1/L2 = α2/α1
(B) L1/L2 = √(α2/α1)
(C) L1/L2 = 2 α2/α1
(D) L1/L2 = 2√(α2/α1)
