The stress-strain curves are drawn for two different materials \(X\) and \(Y.\) It is observed that the ultimate strength point and the fracture point are close to each other for material \(X\) but are far apart for material \(Y.\) We can say that the materials \(X\) and \(Y\) are likely to be (respectively):

1. ductile and brittle
2. brittle and ductile
3. brittle and plastic
4. plastic and ductile

2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is False but (R) is True.
4. (A) is True but (R) is False.
