Solution

The correct option is A P has greater young's modulus
We know that,
Young's modulus =stressstrain ... (1)
Slope of the curve,
tanθ=strainstress ... (2)


From (1) and (2),
Young's modulus =1tanθ
So, lower the value of θ, higher the Young's modulus.
From figure, we can see that θ1<θ2tanθ1<tanθ2
YP>YQ
Metal P has greater Young's modulus.
