I'd guess at valve B. more information about the interesting question would help.
Option 2 is your answer :)
Answer:
1069.38 gallons
Explanation:
Let V₀ = 1.07 × 10³ be the initial volume of the gasoline at temperature θ₁ = 52 °F. Let V₁ be the volume at θ₂ = 97 °F.
V₁ = V₀(1 + βΔθ) β = coefficient of volume expansion for gasoline = 9.6 × 10⁻⁴ °C⁻¹
Δθ = (5/9)(97°F -52°F) °C = 25 °C.
Let V₂ be its final volume when it cools to 52°F in the tank is
V₂ = V₁(1 - βΔθ) = V₀(1 + βΔθ)(1 - βΔθ) = V₀(1 - [βΔθ]²)
= 1.07 × 10³(1 - [9.6 × 10⁻⁴ °C⁻¹ × 25 °C]²)
= 1.07 × 10³(1 - [0.024]²)
= 1.07 × 10³(1 - 0.000576)
= 1.07 × 10³(0.999424)
= 1069.38 gallons
