This question has Statement $1$ and Statement $2$. Of the four choices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two Statements.

If two springs $S_1$ and $S_2$ of force constants $k_1$ and $k_2$, respectively, are stretched by the same force, it is found that more work is done on spring $S_1$ than on spring $S_2$.
STATEMENT 1 : If stretched by the same amount work
done on $S_1$, Work done on $S_1$ is more than $S_2$
STATEMENT2: $k_1 < k_2$

A

Statement $1$ is true, Statement $2$ is true, Statement $2$ is not the correct explanation for Statement $1$

B

Statement $1$ is false, Statement $2$ is true

C

Statement $1$ is true, Statement $2$ is false

D

Statement $1$ is true, Statement $2$ is true, Statement $2$ is the correct explanation for Statement $1$

Solution

When force is same

$W = \frac{1}{2}\,k{x^2}$

$W = \frac{1}{2}k\frac{{{F^2}}}{{{k^2}}}\,\left[ {\because F = kx} \right]$

$\because $ W =$\frac{{{F^2}}}{{2x}}$

As ${W_1} > {W_2}$

$\therefore {k_1} < {k_2}$

When extension is same

W $ \propto $ k ($\because $ $x$ is same )

$\therefore $${W_1} < {W_2}$

statement $1$ is false and statement $2$ is teue.
