$A$ wire of length $L$ and area of cross-section $A$ is hanging from a fixed support. The length of the wire changes to $L_{1}$ when a mass $M$ is suspended from its free end. The expression for Young's modulus is:

  • A
    $\frac{MgL}{A(L_{1}-L)}$
  • B
    $\frac{MgL_{1}}{AL}$
  • C
    $\frac{Mg(L_{1}-L)}{AL}$
  • D
    $\frac{MgL}{AL_{1}}$
