Two similar springs $P$ and $Q$ have spring constants $K_P$ and $K_Q$,such that $K_P > K_Q$. They are stretched first by the same amount (case $a$),then by the same force (case $b$). The work done by the springs $W_P$ and $W_Q$ are related as,in case $(a)$ and case $(b)$ respectively:

  • A
    $W_P > W_Q, W_P < W_Q$
  • B
    $W_P = W_Q, W_P = W_Q$
  • C
    $W_P > W_Q, W_Q > W_P$
  • D
    $W_P < W_Q, W_Q < W_P$
