    Two exactly similar wires of steel and copper are stretched by equal forces. If the difference in their elongations is 0.5 cm, the elongation (l) of each wire is
    \[{{Y}_{s}}\,(steel)=2.0\times {{10}^{11}}\,N/{{m}^{2}}\]
    \[{{Y}_{c}}\,(copper)=1.2\times {{10}^{11}}\,N/{{m}^{2}}\]

    A) \[{{l}_{s}}=\,\,0.75\text{ }cm,\,\,\,{{l}_{c}}\,=\,\,1.25\text{ }cm\]

    B) \[{{l}_{s}}=\,\,1.25\text{ }cm,\,\,\,{{l}_{c}}\,=\,\,0.75\text{ }cm\]

    C) \[{{l}_{s}}=\,\,0.25\text{ }cm,\,\,\,{{l}_{c}}\,=\,\,0.75\text{ }cm\]

    D) \[{{l}_{s}}=\,\,0.75\text{ }cm,\,\,\,{{l}_{c}}\,=\,\,0.25\text{ }cm\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[l\propto \frac{1}{Y}\,\Rightarrow \,\frac{{{Y}_{s}}}{{{Y}_{c}}}\,=\,\frac{{{l}_{c}}}{{{l}_{s}}}\,\Rightarrow \,\frac{{{l}_{c}}}{{{l}_{s}}}\,\,=\,\,\frac{2\times {{10}^{11}}}{1.2\times {{10}^{11}}}\,\,=\,\,\frac{5}{3}\]    ? (i) Also, \[{{l}_{c}}-{{l}_{s}}\,\,=\,\,0.5\]                           ? (ii) On solving (i) and (ii) \[4 = 1.25 cm\] and \[{{l}_{s}}=\,\,0.75\text{ }cm.\]
