When a force $F_1$ is applied on a metallic wire, the length of the wire is $L_1$. If a force $F_2$ is applied on the same wire, the length of the wire is $L_2$. The original length of the wire $L$ is

  • A
    $\frac{L_1 F_1+L_2 F_2}{F_1+F_2}$
  • B
    $\frac{L_2-L_1}{F_1+F_2}$
  • C
    $\frac{F_1 L_2-F_2 L_1}{F_1-F_2}$
  • D
    $\frac{F_1 L_1-F_2 L_2}{F_1-F_2}$
