$A$ tension of $22 \,N$ is applied to a copper wire of cross-sectional area $0.02 \,cm^2$. Young's modulus of copper is $1.1 \times 10^{11} \,N/m^2$ and Poisson's ratio is $0.32$. The decrease in cross-sectional area will be:

  • A
    $1.28 \times 10^{-6} \,cm^2$
  • B
    $1.6 \times 10^{-6} \,cm^2$
  • C
    $2.56 \times 10^{-6} \,cm^2$
  • D
    $0.64 \times 10^{-6} \,cm^2$
