Two separate wires $A$ and $B$ are stretched by $2 \, mm$ and $4 \, mm$ respectively,when they are subjected to a force of $2 \, N$. Assume that both the wires are made up of the same material and the radius of wire $B$ is $4$ times that of the radius of wire $A$. The lengths of the wires $A$ and $B$ are in the ratio of $a : b$. Then $a / b$ can be expressed as $1 / x$ where $x$ is:

  • A
    $24$
  • B
    $36$
  • C
    $42$
  • D
    $32$
