Solution

The correct option is C 2.5×105 m
As we know,

Young's modulus (Y)=StressStrain=FAΔLL

Stress=FA=10(2×106)=5×106 N/m2

From Y=StressStrain

2×1011=5×106ΔLL

ΔLL=2.5×105

ΔL=1×2.5×105

ΔL=2.5×105 m

Hence, option (C) is the correct answer.
Why this Question?
Key point: Youngs modulus of elasticity is given by,

Young's modulus (Y)=StressStrain=FAΔLL

Y=FLAΔL
