  • A
    $1 : 1$
  • B
    $2 : 1$
  • C

$A$ block of weight $100 \ N$ is suspended by copper and steel wires of same cross-sectional area $0.5 \ cm^2$ and lengths $\sqrt{3} \ m$ and $1 \ m$,respectively. Their other ends are fixed on a ceiling as shown in the figure. The angles subtended by the copper and steel wires with the ceiling are $30^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$,respectively. If the elongation in the copper wire is $\Delta \ell_C$ and the elongation in the steel wire is $\Delta \ell_S$,then the ratio $\frac{\Delta \ell_C}{\Delta \ell_S}$ is. . . . . .
