Solution
The correct option is A the same stress but different strains The Same force is applied at the ends of both copper and steel rods and because they have the same diameter, the stress i.e. force/area is the same for both rods. Stress/strain =Young's modulus As Young's modulus is different for steel and copper hence, strain comes out to different.
