Solution

The correct option is D 6:3:4
$l = \frac{F L}{A Y}$ and for a given stretching force $l \infty \frac{1}{A Y}$
Let three wires have young's modulus 2Y, 2Y and Y and their cross sectional areas are A, 2A and 3A respectively.
$l_{1} : l_{2} : l_{3} = \frac{1}{A_{1} Y_{1}} : \frac{1}{A_{2} Y_{2}} : \frac{1}{A_{3} Y_{3}} = \frac{1}{A \times 2 Y} : \frac{1}{2 A \times 2 Y} : \frac{1}{3 A \times Y} = \frac{1}{2} : \frac{1}{4} : \frac{1}{3} = 6 : 3 : 4.$
