JEE Main 4 April 2026, Shift 2, Physics Q31

Question 31 of 75 in this shift, Physics question 6 of 25, Section A.

A metal string AA is suspended from a rigid support and its free end is attached to a block of mass MM. Second block having mass 2M2M is suspended at the bottom of the first block using a string BB. The area of cross sections of strings AA and BB are same. The ratio of lengths of strings of AA to BB is 2 and the ratio of their Young's moduli (YA/YBY_A/Y_B) is 0.5. The ratio of elongations in AA to BB is ________.
