The correct answer is: $19.6 \times 10^{10} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^{2}$
$Y=\frac{\mathrm{F} / \mathrm{A}}{\Delta \ell / \ell}=\frac{\frac{250 \times 9.8}{50 \times 10^{-6}}}{\frac{0.5 \times 10^{-3}}{2}}$
$=\frac{250 \times 9.8}{50 \times 10^{-6}} \times \frac{2}{0.5 \times 10^{-3}} \Rightarrow 19.6 \times 10^{10} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^{2}$
