Q. Assertion :Yield strength is the stress required to produce a small specific amount of deformation. Reason: The offset yield strength can be determined by the stress corresponding to the intersection of the stress-strain curve and a line parallel to the elastic line offset by a strain of 0.2 or 0.1%.
