Solution

The correct option is B
Tension in the wire $T = \frac{2 m_{1} m_{2}}{m_{1} + m_{2}}$ g $∴$ stress in the wire = $\frac{T}{S}$ = $\frac{2 m_{1} m_{2} g}{S (m_{1} + m_{2})}$
$∴$ Strain $\frac{l}{L}$ = $\frac{S t r e s s}{Y}$ = $\frac{2 m_{1} m_{2} g}{Y S (m_{1} + m_{2})}$ $\Rightarrow$ $l = \frac{2 m_{1} m_{2} g L}{Y S (m_{1} + m_{2})}$
