    Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.

    Assertion $(A)$:The stretching of a spring is determined by the shear modulus of the material of the spring.

    Reason $(R)$:A coil spring of copper has more tensile strength than a steel spring of same dimensions.

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

    In the given figure, two elastic rods $A$ & $B$ are rigidly joined to end supports. $A$ small mass $‘m’$ is moving with velocity $v$ between the rods. All collisions are assumed to be elastic & the surface is given to be frictionless. The time period of small mass $‘m’$ will be : [$A=$ area of cross section, $Y =$ Young’s modulus, $L=$ length of each rod ; here, an elastic rod may be treated as a spring of spring constant $\frac{{YA}}{L}$ ]
