Show answer and solution
Answer: (C)
According to questions,
$\begin{aligned}
& \frac{\ell_{\mathrm{s}}}{\ell_{\mathrm{b}}}=\mathrm{a}, \frac{\mathrm{r}_{\mathrm{s}}}{\mathrm{r}_{\mathrm{b}}}=\mathrm{b}, \frac{\mathrm{y}_{\mathrm{s}}}{\mathrm{y}_{\mathrm{b}}}=\mathrm{c}, \frac{\Delta \ell \mathrm{s}}{\Delta \ell_{\mathrm{b}}}=? \\
& \text { As, } \mathrm{y}=\frac{\mathrm{F} \ell}{\mathrm{A} \Delta \ell} \Rightarrow \Delta \ell=\frac{\mathrm{F} \ell}{\mathrm{Ay}} \\
& \Delta \ell_{\mathrm{s}}=\frac{3 \mathrm{mg} \ell_{\mathrm{s}}}{\pi \mathrm{r}_{\mathrm{s}}^2 \cdot \mathrm{y}_{\mathrm{s}}}\left[\because \mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{s}}=(\mathrm{M}+2 \mathrm{M}) \mathrm{g}\right] \\
& \Delta \ell_{\mathrm{b}}=\frac{2 \mathrm{Mg}\ell_{\mathrm{b}}}{\pi \mathrm{r}_{\mathrm{b}}^2 \cdot \mathrm{y}_{\mathrm{b}}}\left[\because \mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{b}}=2 \mathrm{Mg}\right]
\end{aligned}$
