MCQ
The stress $-$ strain graphs for two materials are shown in $($assume same scale$).$
  • A
    Material $(ii)$ is more elastic than material $(i)$ and hence material $(ii)$ is more brittle.
  • B
    Material $(ii)$ is more brittle than material $(i).$
  • C
    Material $(ii)$ is elastic over a larger region of strain as compared to $(i).$
  • $B$ and $C$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$B$ and $C$
On comparing ultimate tensile strength of the materials, $(ii)$ is greater than $(i).$
Hence, material $(ii)$ is elastic over larger region as compare to $(i)$ so the material $(ii)$ is elastic over a larger region of strain as compared to $(i) ($verifies option $b).$
As the fracture point of material $(ii)$ is nearer than $(i),$ hence the material $(ii)$ is more brittle than material $(i).$
