The correct answer is: None of the above is true
As stress is shown on $x$-axis and strain on $y$-axis
So we can say that $Y=\cot \theta=\frac{1}{\tan \theta}=\frac{1}{\text { slope }}$
So elasticity of wire $P$ is minimum and of wire $R$ is maximum
So elasticity of wire $P$ is minimum and of wire $R$ is maximum
