Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): Steel is more elastic than copper, brass, and aluminium. Reason (R): For a given stress, the strain produced in steel is smaller compared to copper, brass, and aluminium, meaning steel has a higher Young's modulus. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:→Based on the cylindrical deformation under tensile stress shown in the figure, if a cylindrical body elongates by \( \Delta L \) under tensile force, the longitudinal strain is given by:→Match List-I with List-II: List-I List-II A Yield point I Maximum stress before fracture B Ultimate tensile strength II Elastic limit up to which body returns to original size C Permanent set D Deformation remaining when zero stress is attained D Elastomers IV Materials that can be stretched to large strains Choose the correct answer from the options given below:→Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
