In the above questions, the load and E of both bars are the same, so elongation is the same.

So equate both the elongation formula.

The answer is B because the product of dia's of both the bars is different and dia's are inversely proportional to elongation.

You are absolutely right @Sri Lakshmi.

Extension of tapering bar is 4pl/pie*e*E*d1*d2.

Extension of circular bar pl/aE.
As given in question circular bar dia sqe.root d1*d2 so;
Area of circle pie/4*D^2.
pie/4*(sqe.rootd1*d2).

So ans is 4pl/pie*Ed1d2.

Extension of circular tapering bar is;

= 4pl/π*E*d1*d2.

Extensions only depand on Young's modulus but not depend on area.
