Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$

Assertion $A$: Steel is used in the construction of buildings and bridges.

Reason $R:$ Steel is more elastic and its elastic limit is high.

In the light of above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

  • ABoth $A$ and $R$ are correct but $R$ is NOT the correct explanation of $A$
  • B$A$ is not correct but $R$ is correct
  • CBoth $A$ and $R$ are correct and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$
  • D$A$ is correct but $R$ is not correct

    Two separate wires $A$ and $B$ are stretched by $2 \,mm$ and $4\, mm$ respectively, when they are subjected to a force of $2\, N$. Assume that both the wires are made up of same material and the radius of wire $B$ is 4 times that of the radius of wire $A$. The length of the wires $A$ and $B$ are in the ratio of $a : b$. Then $a / b$ can be expressed as $1 / x$ where $x$ is
