$A$ uniform wire (Young's modulus $2 \times 10^{11} \, Nm^{-2}$) is subjected to a longitudinal tensile stress of $5 \times 10^7 \, Nm^{-2}$. If the overall volume change in the wire is $0.02\%$,the fractional decrease in the radius of the wire is close to:

  • A
    $1.0 \times 10^{-4}$
  • B
    $1.5 \times 10^{-4}$
  • C
    $0.25 \times 10^{-4}$
  • D
    $5 \times 10^{-4}$
