When a wire of length $10 \ m$ is subjected to a force of $100 \ N$ along its length, the lateral strain produced is $0.01 \times 10^{-3} \ m$. The Poisson's ratio was found to be $0.4$. If the area of cross-section of the wire is $0.025 \ m^2$, its Young's modulus is:

  • A
    $1.6 \times 10^8 \ N/m^2$
  • B
    $2.5 \times 10^{10} \ N/m^2$
  • C
    $1.25 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$
  • D
    $16 \times 10^9 \ N/m^2$
