$A$ wire of length $L$ and radius $r$ is rigidly fixed at one end. On stretching the other end of the wire with a force $F$,the increase in its length is $l$. If another wire of same material but of length $2L$ and radius $2r$ is stretched with a force of $2F$,the increase in its length will be

  • A
    $l$
  • B
    $2l$
  • C
    $\frac{l}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{l}{4}$
