Same is the answer,
Elastic strength means section modulus and it is not dependent on the length.
As you guys find other questions related to elastic strength find out the section modulus.
So here also be the same.
So the answer is A. Same.

[B]. One-half is correct.

B) 1/2 is correct.

Right, Thanks @Usha.

@Usha.

Elastic strength of beam with double Length will be double not half.

Anuj said:   6 years ago
Correct @Usha.

@Ali.

If length is doubled then for the same load the change in length will also be doubled since delta l=pl/ae. Now explain how elastic strength changes.

Nice and correct explanation. Thanks.

Thanks for the description @Random.

MOR is also called as strength of that member.
In case the cantilever beam is subject to point load at its free end;
Ma=WL when the length is L.
Mb=2WL when the length is double 2L.
Mb=2Ma hence elastic strength of B is 2 the elastic strength of A.
