Statement-I: A metal wire held vertically is longer than when it placed on a horizontal table.
Statement-II: Due to its own weight, some elongation is produced when it is held vertically.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

Statement I is true and statement II is true

Option A (Statement I is true and statement II is true) is correct because the wire stretches due to its own weight when held vertically.
