2. \(\sigma_A=2\sigma_C\)
3. \(\sigma_C=2\sigma_A\)
4. \(\sigma_C=\dfrac34\sigma_A\)

A wire has a length \(l_1\) when it is under tension \(T_1,\) and length \(l_2\) when it is under tension \(T_2.\) When it is under a tension \(T_1 + T_2,\) its length is:
1. \(l_1+l_2\)

2. \(\dfrac{l_1T_1+l_2T_2}{T_1+T_2}\)

3. \(\dfrac{l_1T_1-l_2T_2}{T_1-T_2}\)

Two wires of identical dimensions but of different materials having Young's moduli \(Y_1, Y_2\) are joined end to end. When the first wire is under a tension \(T,\) it elongates by \(x_1\) while the second wire elongates by \(x_2\) under the same tension \(T.\) The elongation of the composite wire when it is under tension \(T\) is:

1. \(x_1+x_2\) 2. \(\dfrac{Y_1x_1+Y_2x_2}{Y_1+Y_2}\)
3. \(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2}\) 4. \(\dfrac{Y_1x_2+Y_2x_1}{Y_1+Y_2}\)
