Steel and copper wires of the same length and area are stretched by the same weight one after the other. Young's modulus of steel and copper are \(2\times10^{11} ~\text{N/m}^2\) and  \(1.2\times10^{11}~\text{N/m}^2\). The ratio of increase in length is: 

1. \(2 \over 5\) 2. \(3 \over 5\)
3. \(5 \over 4\) 4. \(5 \over 2\)

The strain-stress curves of three wires of different materials are shown in the figure. \(P\), \(Q\) and \(R\) are the elastic limits of the wires. The figure shows that:
           

1. Elasticity of wire \(P\) is maximum.
2. Elasticity of wire \(Q\) is maximum.
3. Tensile strength of \(R\) is maximum.
4. None of the above is true.
