A wire of cross-section \(A_{1}\) and length \(l_1\) breaks when it is under tension \(T_{1};\) a second wire made of the same material but of cross-section \(A_{2}\) and length \(l_2\) breaks under tension \(T_{2}.\) A third wire of the same material having cross-section \(A,\) length \(l\) breaks under tension \(\dfrac{T_1+T_2}{2}\). Then,

1. \(A=\dfrac{A_1+A_2}{2},~l=\dfrac{l_1+l_2}{2}\)
2. \(l=\dfrac{l_1+l_2}{2}\)
3. \(A=\dfrac{A_1+A_2}{2}\)
4. \(A=\dfrac{A_1T_1+A_2T_2}{2(T_1+T_2)},~l=\dfrac{l_1T_1+l_2T_2}{2(T_1+T_2)}\)

A steel wire of length \(4.7\) m and cross-sectional area \(3.0 \times 10^{-5}\) m2 is stretched by the same amount as a copper wire of length \(3.5\) m and cross-sectional area of \(4.0 \times 10^{-5}\) m2 under a given load. The ratio of Young’s modulus of steel to that of copper is:

1. \(1.79:1\) 2. \(1:1.79\)
3. \(1:1\) 4. \(1.97:1\)
