Two wires A and B made of same material and areas of cross-section in the ratio $1: 2$ are stretched by same force. If the masses of the wires $A$ and $B$ are in the ratio $2: 3$, then the ratio of the elongations of the wires A and B is

• A

  $1: 2$
• Correct answer
  B

  $8: 3$
• C

  $1: 3$
• D

  $4: 3$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
