Two wires $A$ and $B$ are made of the same material having a ratio of lengths $\frac{L_A}{L_B} = \frac{1}{3}$ and their diameters ratio $\frac{d_A}{d_B} = 2$. If both the wires are stretched using the same force,what would be the ratio of their respective elongations?

  • A
    $1: 6$
  • B
    $1: 12$
  • C
    $3: 4$
  • D
    $1: 3$
