The length of a spring is $l$ and its force constant is $k$. When a weight $W$ is suspended from it,its length increases by $x$. If the spring is cut into two equal parts and put in parallel and the same weight $W$ is suspended from them,then the extension will be

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