  1. ​If the ratio of diameters, lengths and Young’s modulus of steel and copper wires shown in the figure are p, q and s respectively, then the corresponding ratio of increase in their lengths would be


    1. 7q
      (5sp)
    2. 5q
      (7sp²)
    3. 7q
      (5sp²)
    4. 2q
      (5sp)
Correct Option: C
