The length of an elastic string is \(a\) metre when the longitudinal tension is \(4\) N and \(b\) metre when the longitudinal tension is \(5\) N. The length of the string in metre when the longitudinal tension is \(9\) N will be:

1. \(a-b\) 2. \(5b-4a\)
3. \(2b-\frac{1}{4}a\) 4. \(4a-3b\)

Two wires of copper having length in the ratio of \(4:1\) and radii ratio of \(1:4\) are stretched by the same force. The ratio of longitudinal strain in the two will be:

1. \(1:16\) 2. \(16:1\)
3. \(1:64\) 4. \(64:1\)

An elastic string obeying Hooke’s law has a length \(l_1\)​ metres when the tension is \(4~\text{N},\) and a length \(l_2\)​ metres when the tension is \(5~\text{N}.\) What is its natural length (i.e., its length when the tension is zero)?
1. \(5l_1-4l_2\)
2. \(5l_2-4l_1\)
3. \(9l_1-8l_2\)
4. \(9l_2-8l_1\)

Given below are two statements: 

Assertion (A): Hooke's law is applicable up to the elastic limit.
Reason (R): Up to the elastic limit, stress is directly proportional to strain.
  
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. Both (A) and (R) are False.
