$A$ rigid bar of mass $15 \, kg$ is supported symmetrically by three wires,each $2 \, m$ long. The wires at each end are made of copper,and the middle one is made of steel. The Young's modulus of elasticity for copper and steel are $110 \times 10^9 \, N/m^2$ and $190 \times 10^9 \, N/m^2$ respectively. If each wire is to have the same tension,the ratio of their diameters (diameter of copper wire to diameter of steel wire) will be ............

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{11}{19}}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{30}{11}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{19}{11}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{11}{30}}$
