Not upto elastic limit, it obeys upto proportional limit.

How A is wrong? Explain.

@Sachin.

Stress is resisting force/ cs area.

Umesh said:   7 years ago
Option B is right.
Because strain is expressed in mm.
And stress is directly proportional to strain within a proportional limit not up to the elastic limit.

Strain has no units.

Stress is force per unit area.
Strain is a unitless quantity.

Hook's law holds good up to proportion limit/elastic limit.
