Here,

$A=0.1 \mathrm{cm}^{2}=0.1 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{m}^{2}$

$Y=2 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}^{-2}$

$\frac{\Delta \mathrm{L}}{\mathrm{L}}=0.1 \%=\frac{0.1}{100}=0.1 \times 10^{-2}$

$\mathrm{As} \mathrm{Y}=\frac{\mathrm{F} / \mathrm{A}}{\Delta \mathrm{L} / \mathrm{L}}$

$\therefore \quad F=Y \frac{\Delta L}{L} A$

$=2 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2} \times 0.1 \times 10^{-2} \times 0.1 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{m}^{2}$

$=2 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{N}=2000 \mathrm{N}$
