$A$ rod of length $l$ and radius $r$ is joined to a rod of length $l/2$ and radius $r/2$ of the same material. The free end of the small rod is fixed to a rigid base,and the free end of the larger rod is given a twist of $\theta^\circ$. The twist angle at the joint will be:

  • A
    $\theta /4$
  • B
    $\theta /2$
  • C
    $5\theta /6$
  • D
