$A$ wire of length $L$ and radius $r$ is rigidly fixed at one end. On stretching the other end of the wire with a force $F$,the increase in length is $l$. If another wire of the same material but double the length and double the radius is stretched with a force $2F$,then the increase in length is:

  • A
    $\frac{l}{4}$
  • B
    $2l$
  • C
    $\frac{l}{2}$
  • D
    $l$
