Young's moduli of the material of wires $A$ and $B$ are in the ratio of $1: 4$, while its area of cross sections are in the ratio of $1: 3$. If the same amount of load is applied to both the wires, the amount of elongation produced in the wires $A$ and $B$ will be in the ratio of

[Assume length of wires $A$ and $B$ are same]

A

$36: 1$

B

$12: 1$

C

$1: 36$

D

$1: 12$

(JEE MAIN-2023)

Solution

$\Delta L =\frac{ FL }{ AY }$

$\frac{\Delta L_{ A }}{\Delta L _{ B }}=\frac{ A _{ B }}{ A _{ A }} \frac{Y_{ B }}{Y_{ A }}=12$
