At proportional limit
Stress $\propto$ strain
Stress $=Y \times$ strain $\{Y=$ Young's Modulus $\}$
Stress $=Y \times \frac{\Delta L}{L}$ $\left\{\begin{array}{l}\text { Stress }=8 \times 10^8 \,N / m ^2 \\ Y=2 \times 10^{11} \,N / m ^2 \\ L=1 \,m \end{array}\right.$
Substituting values
$\frac{8 \times 10^8 \times 1}{2 \times 10^{11}}=\Delta L$
$4 \,mm=\Delta L$
