Assertion If a wire is stretched, only half of the work done in stretching the wire remains stored as elastic potential energy.
Reason Potential energy stored in the wire is 1/2 (stress)`xx` (strain)

A

If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

B

If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.

C

If Assertion is true but Reason is false.

D

If both Assertion and Reason are false.
