The length of a wire is $1.0 \, m$ and the area of cross-section is $1.0 \times 10^{-2} \, cm^2$. If the work done for an increase in length by $0.2 \, cm$ is $0.4 \, J$,then the Young's modulus of the material of the wire is:

  • A
    $2.0 \times 10^{10} \, N/m^2$
  • B
    $4 \times 10^{10} \, N/m^2$
  • C
    $2.0 \times 10^{11} \, N/m^2$
  • D
    $2 \times 10^{10} \, N/m^2$
