In Young's experiment,if the length of the wire and the radius are both doubled,then the value of $Y$ will become:

Two wires $A$ and $B$ of the same cross-section are connected end to end. When the same tension is applied to both wires,the elongation in wire $B$ is twice the elongation in wire $A$. If $L_A$ and $L_B$ are the initial lengths of the wires $A$ and $B$ respectively,then (Young's modulus of material of wire $A = 2 \times 10^{11} \ Nm^{-2}$ and Young's modulus of material of wire $B = 1.1 \times 10^{11} \ Nm^{-2}$):

$A$ wire of length $2 \ m$ and cross-sectional area $10^{-2} \ cm^2$ is fixed at one end. $A$ force of $200 \ N$ is applied at the other end. The coefficient of linear expansion of the wire is $1.1 \times 10^{-5} \ ^oC^{-1}$ and the Young's modulus is $1.2 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$. If the temperature is increased by $10^oC$,what will be the thermal stress developed in the wire?
