The length of a metallic wire is $\ell_{1}$ when the tension in it is $T_{1}$. It is $\ell_{2}$ when the tension is $T_{2}$. The original length of the wire will be ...... .

  • A
    $\frac{\ell_{1}+\ell_{2}}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{T_{2}\ell_{1}+T_{1}\ell_{2}}{T_{1}+T_{2}}$
  • C
    $\frac{T_{2}\ell_{1}-T_{1}\ell_{2}}{T_{2}-T_{1}}$
  • D
    $\frac{T_{1}\ell_{1}-T_{2}\ell_{2}}{T_{2}-T_{1}}$
