The correct answer is:
4: 1
$\because$ Both wires are same materials so both will have same Young's modulus, and let it be Y. $Y=\frac{\text { stress }}{\text { strain }}=\frac{F}{\text { A. }(\Delta L / L)}, F=$ applied force
$\mathrm{A}=$ area of cross-section of wire
Now,
$\mathrm{Y}_{1}=\mathrm{Y}_{2} \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{FL}}{\left(\mathrm{A}_{1}\right)\left(\Delta \mathrm{L}_{1}\right)}=\frac{\mathrm{FL}}{\left(\mathrm{A}_{2}\right)\left(\Delta \mathrm{L}_{2}\right)}$
Since load and length are same for both
$\begin{array}{l}
\Rightarrow \mathrm{r}_{1}^{2} \Delta \mathrm{L}_{1}=\mathrm{r}_{2}^{2} \Delta \mathrm{L}_{2},\left(\frac{\Delta \mathrm{L}_{1}}{\Delta \mathrm{L}_{2}}\right)=\left(\frac{\mathrm{r}_{2}}{\mathrm{r}_{1}}\right)^{2}=4 \\
\Delta \mathrm{L}_{1}: \Delta \mathrm{L}_{2}=4: 1
\end{array}$
$\mathrm{A}=$ area of cross-section of wire
Now,
$\mathrm{Y}_{1}=\mathrm{Y}_{2} \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{FL}}{\left(\mathrm{A}_{1}\right)\left(\Delta \mathrm{L}_{1}\right)}=\frac{\mathrm{FL}}{\left(\mathrm{A}_{2}\right)\left(\Delta \mathrm{L}_{2}\right)}$
Since load and length are same for both
$\begin{array}{l}
\Rightarrow \mathrm{r}_{1}^{2} \Delta \mathrm{L}_{1}=\mathrm{r}_{2}^{2} \Delta \mathrm{L}_{2},\left(\frac{\Delta \mathrm{L}_{1}}{\Delta \mathrm{L}_{2}}\right)=\left(\frac{\mathrm{r}_{2}}{\mathrm{r}_{1}}\right)^{2}=4 \\
\Delta \mathrm{L}_{1}: \Delta \mathrm{L}_{2}=4: 1
\end{array}$
