$A$ weight of $200 \, kg$ is suspended by a vertical wire of length $600.5 \, cm$. The area of cross-section of the wire is $1 \, mm^2$. When the load is removed,the wire contracts by $0.5 \, cm$. The Young's modulus of the material of the wire will be:

  • A
    $2.35 \times 10^{12} \, N/m^2$
  • B
    $1.35 \times 10^{10} \, N/m^2$
  • C
    $13.5 \times 10^{11} \, N/m^2$
  • D
    $23.5 \times 10^9 \, N/m^2$
