The length of a rod under longitudinal tension $T_1$ is $L_1$ and that under longitudinal tension $T_2$ is $L_2$. What is the actual length of the rod,in the absence of tensions?

  • A
    $\frac{L_1 T_1-L_2 T_2}{T_2-T_1}$
  • B
    $\frac{L_1 T_2-L_2 T_1}{T_2+T_1}$
  • C
    $\frac{L_1 T_1-L_2 T_2}{T_2+T_1}$
  • D
    $\frac{L_1 T_2-L_2 T_1}{T_2-T_1}$

Below are two statements. One is labeled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other as Reason $(R).$
Assertion $(A):$ The property of an object that allows it to regain its original shape after the external force applied to it is removed is called elasticity.
Reason $(R):$ The restoring force depends on the intermolecular and interatomic forces in a solid.
