Question
Assertion : Steel is more elastic than rubber.
Reason : Under given deforming force, steel is deformed less than rubber.

Answer

(a) Elasticity is a measure of tendency of the body to regain its original configuration. As steel is deformed less than rubber therefore steel is more elastic than rubber.
