  • A
    Zero
  • B
    $\frac{M L^2}{K}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{MK} L$
  • D
    $\frac{K L^2}{2M}$

If two springs $S_1$ and $S_2$ of force constants $k_1$ and $k_2$,respectively,are stretched by the same force,it is found that more work is done on spring $S_1$ than on spring $S_2$.
Statement $-1$: If stretched by the same amount,work done on $S_1$ will be more than that on $S_2$.
Statement $-2$: $k_1 < k_2$.

Two similar springs $P$ and $Q$ have spring constants $K_P$ and $K_Q$,such that $K_P > K_Q$. They are stretched first by the same amount (case $a$),then by the same force (case $b$). The work done by the springs $W_P$ and $W_Q$ are related as,in case $(a)$ and case $(b)$ respectively:
