Solution

The correct option is B Decrease
We know,
Stress versus strain curve for a metal wire is


For small deformations as seen in the region OA
stressstrain=tan θ1=constant
When deformation is increased,
stressstrain=tan θ2 (at point B)
From the curve, it is evident thatθ2<θ1tan θ2<tan θ1
Therefore, the ratio will decrease when deformation increases.
