It is clear from the stress vs strain curve. After elastic limit strain increase more quickly.

Slope represent the inverse rate of strain wrt stress. From stress strain curve it is clear. That the slope decreases quickly wrt the initial slope in elastic zone. Hence, the strain increases more quickly.

How? anyone tell me in details.

It is evident from the MS's tensile test's stress vs strain diagram.
