Thermodynamics: JEE Main 2022 Physics question

A unit scale is to be prepared whose length does not change with temperature and remains $20 \mathrm{~cm}$, using a bimetallic strip made of brass and iron each of different length. The length of both components would change in such a way that difference between their lengths remains constant. If length of brass is $40 \mathrm{~cm}$ and length of iron will be __________ $\mathrm{cm}$. $\left(\alpha_{\text {iron }}=1.2 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}\right.$ and $\left.\alpha_{\text {brass }}=1.8 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}\right)$.
