The system of the wedge and the block connected by a massless spring as shown in the figure is released with the spring in its natural length. Friction is absent. The maximum elongation in the spring will be:

  • A
    $\frac{3Mg}{5k}$
  • B
    $\frac{6Mg}{5k}$
  • C
    $\frac{4Mg}{5k}$
  • D
    $\frac{8Mg}{5k}$

This question has Statement $-1$ and Statement $-2$. Of the four choices given after the statements,choose the one that best describes the two statements.
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 $-2$: $k_1 < k_2$.

$K$ is the force constant of a spring. The work done in increasing its extension from $l_1$ to $l_2$ will be
