Two wires are made of the same material and have the same volume. The first wire has cross-sectional area $A$ and the second wire has cross-sectional area $3A$. If the length of the first wire is increased by $\Delta l$ on applying a force $F$, how much force is needed to stretch the second wire by the same amount?
  • A$9F$
  • B$6F$
  • C$F$
  • D$4F$

    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:
