Two rods of copper and steel having same area of cross - section but different lengths and respectively are connected to each other. The combined length of two rods fits between two walls without any stress on walls. If and are their coefficient of linear expansion, and are their Young's modulus respectively, then (There is no buckling of rods while heating) With increase in temperature:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
combined length remains while length of one rod increases and that of other decreases
The combined length remains while length of one rod increases and that of other decreases because the system is constrained between two walls, leading to compressive stress in one rod and tensile stress in the other.

Statement-II: For a ductile material yield point and breaking point are separated by larger distance than for brittle materials on the stress-strain curve.
Statement-II: For a ductile material yield point and breaking point are separated by larger distance than for brittle materials on the stress-strain curve.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Statement I is false and statement II is true
Option C (Statement I is false and statement II is true) is correct because rigidity modulus of a liquid is zero, and ductile materials have a larger separation between yield and breaking points.
