Two wires are made of the same material and have the same volume. The first wire has a cross-sectional area \(A\) and the second wire has a cross-sectional area \(3A\). If the length of the first wire is increased by \(\Delta l\) on applying a force \(F\), how much force is needed to stretch the second wire by the same amount?

1. \(9F\) 2. \(6F\)
3. \(4F\) 4. \(F\)

Young’s modulus of steel is twice that of brass. Two wires of the same length and of the same area of cross-section, one of steel and another of brass, are suspended from the same roof. If we want the lower ends of the wires to be at the same level, then the weights added to the steel and brass wires must be in the ratio of:
1. \(1:2\)
2. \(2:1\)
3. \(4:1\)
4. \(1:1\)

The stress-strain curves are drawn for two different materials \(X\) and \(Y.\) It is observed that the ultimate strength point and the fracture point are close to each other for material \(X\) but are far apart for material \(Y.\) We can say that the materials \(X\) and \(Y\) are likely to be (respectively):

1. ductile and brittle
2. brittle and ductile
3. brittle and plastic
4. plastic and ductile
