A wire is suspended by one end. At the other end a weight equivalent to $20\, N$ force is applied. If the increase in length is $1.0\, mm,$ the ratio of the increase in energy of the wire to the decrease in gravitational potential energy when load moves downwards by $1\, mm,$ will be

A

$1$

B

$\frac{1}{4}$

C

$\frac{1}{3}$

D

$\frac{1}{2}$

Solution
