In plotting stress versus strain curves for two materials $P$ and $Q$,a student by mistake puts strain on the $y$-axis and stress on the $x$-axis as shown in the figure. Then the correct statement$(s)$ is(are):
$(A)$ $P$ has more tensile strength than $Q$
$(B)$ $P$ is more ductile than $Q$
$(C)$ $P$ is more brittle than $Q$
$(D)$ The Young's modulus of $P$ is more than that of $Q$

  • A
    $(A, B)$
  • B
    $(A, C)$
  • C
    $(B, C)$
  • D
    $(B, D)$
