Question

The diagram shows stress v/s strain curve for the material $A$ and $B$. From the curve, we infer that

• A. $A$ is brittle but $B$ ductile.
• B. $A$ is ductile but $B$ brittle .
• C. Both $A$ and $B$ are ductile.
• D. Both $A$ and $B$ are brittle..

Answer 1

The correct option is B $A$ is ductile but $B$ brittle .

In ductile materials, yield point exist while in brittle material, failure would occur without yielding.
