If all the dimensions of a bar are increased in the proportion n : 1, the proportion with which the maximum stress produced in the prismatic bar by its own weight, will increase in the ratio
1 : n
n : 1
1 : 
: 11 : n.

Stress under own weight = wl^2/2E.
Where w is unit weight,
So, it might be 4 times.

Stress due to self weight= Density * length of bar.
So stress is directly proportional to length only.
So, now if you increase the length by n and compare it with old stress then you will get the answer.
