$A$ metal string $A$ is suspended from a rigid support and its free end is attached to a block of mass $M$. $A$ second block having mass $2M$ is suspended at the bottom of the first block using a string $B$. The area of cross-sections of strings $A$ and $B$ are the same. The ratio of lengths of strings $A$ to $B$ is $2$ and the ratio of their Young's moduli $(Y_A/Y_B)$ is $0.5$. The ratio of elongations in $A$ to $B$ is . . . . . . .
