The length of a metal wire is $l_1$ when the tension in it is $F_1$ and $l_2$ when the tension is $F_2$. Then,the original length of the wire is

  • A
    $\frac{l_1 F_1+l_2 F_2}{F_1+F_2}$
  • B
    $\frac{l_2-l_1}{F_2-F_1}$
  • C
    $\frac{l_1 F_2-l_2 F_1}{F_2-F_1}$
  • D
    $\frac{l_1 F_1-l_2 F_2}{F_2-F_1}$
