Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
When the huge traffic is passed over bridge, the strain undergoes for a long number of times every day.
When the bridge is used for a long time, the elastic strength is being lost continuously. Because of it the strain in the bridge becomes very large for a particular stress and hence bridge may damage.
