Stress is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of specimen taken under consideration.

Obviously, Stress is inversely proportional to the area. So in small end area of section is very small when compared to large side so. Ultimately stress should be more at small end.

Since stress= (force/area).

So if area decreases stress increases so at smaller end area is small so high stress over there.
