Solution

The correct option is B 4 %
Let us suppose length of wire is L and radius is r then it's volume is
V=πr2L
On differentiating both side
ΔV=π(2rΔr)L+πr2ΔL
As, V= constant, then ΔV=0
2πrLΔr+πr2ΔL=0
2πrLΔr=πr2ΔL
Δrr=12×ΔLL
ΔLL=2Δrr
ΔLL×100=2Δrr×100


ΔLL×100=2×2
[Δrr×100=2%, given, Negative sign in percentage lateral strain shows radius will decrease due to tensile stress.]
ΔLL×100=+4 %
Percentage change in longitudnal strain is +4 %
