Two wires of the same material (Young's modulus  $Y$ ) and same length $L$  but radii  $R$  and  $2R$  respectively are joined end to end and a weight  $W$  is suspended from the combination as shown in the figure. The elastic potential energy in the system is
  • A$\frac{{3{W^2}L}}{{4\pi {R^2}Y}}$
  • B$\frac{{3{W^2}L}}{{8\pi {R^2}Y}}$
  • C$\frac{{5{W^2}L}}{{8\pi {R^2}Y}}$
  • D$\frac{{{W^2}L}}{{\pi {R^2}Y}}$
