Solution

The correct option is B Δl versus l2
We know that, Young's modulus (Y)
Y=FlAΔl ...(1)
Volume, V=Al ...(2)
Eq.(1) can be written as,
Y=Fl2AlΔl

From Eq.(1) and Eq.(2),
Δl=Fl2VY ...(3)
[Here, F,V and Y are constant, therefore FVY is constant]
Δll2

On comparing Eq.(3) with the equation of a straight line y=mx+c,
y=Δl, c=0
Slope, m=FVY=constant
& x=l2
Δl versus l2 graph is of the form y=mx.

Hence, Δl versus l2 graph is a straight line passing through origin.
