The length of a spring is $l$ and its force constant is $k$. When a weight $W$ is suspended from it, its length increases by $x$. If the spring is cut into two equal parts and put in parallel and the same weight $W$ is suspended from them, then the extension will be

  • A

    $2x$

  • B

    $x$

  • C

    $\frac{x}{2}$

  • D

    $\frac{x}{4}$
