Q.

Young’s moduli of the material of wires A and B are in the ratio of 1 : 4, while their areas of cross-section 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 wires A and B will be in the ratio of [Assume length of wires A and B are same]                 [2023]
