A light rod of length 200 cm is suspended from the ceiling horizontally by means of two vertical wires of equal length tied on its end. One of the wires is made of steel and has area of cross-section `0.1 cm^2` and the order of brass of cross-sectional area `0.2 cm^2.` An object of mass m is hung to the rod. `(Y_"steel"=2xxY_"brass")`

At which distance from one end of the rod should a weight be hung to produce equal strains in both the wires?

A

`1/2m`

B

`4/3m`

C

1 m

D

2 m
