The stress-strain graph of two wires $A$ and $B$ is shown in the figure. If $Y_{A}$ and $Y_B$ are Young's moduli of materials of wires $A$ and $B$ respectively, then

  • A
    $Y_{A}=3 Y_{B}$
  • B
    $Y_A=Y_B$
  • C
    $Y_{B}=3 Y_{A}$
  • D

In plotting stress versus strain curves for two materials $P$ and $Q$,a student by mistake puts strain on the $y$-axis and stress on the $x$-axis as shown in the figure. Then the correct statement$(s)$ is(are):
$(A)$ $P$ has more tensile strength than $Q$
$(B)$ $P$ is more ductile than $Q$
$(C)$ $P$ is more brittle than $Q$
$(D)$ The Young's modulus of $P$ is more than that of $Q$

Assertion $(A)$: Ductile metals are used to prepare thin wires.
Reason $(R)$: In the stress-strain curve of ductile metals,the length between the points representing elastic limit and breaking point is very small.
