A wire of length L and radius r is  rigidly fixed at one end. On stretching the other end of the wire with a force F, the increase in its length is l. If another wire of same material but of length 2L and radius 2r is stretched with a force of 2F, the increase in its length will be

(a) l                                       (b) 2l

(c) l2                                    (d) l4
