$A$ wire of length $L$ is hanging from a fixed support. The length changes to $L_{1}$ and $L_{2}$ when masses $1 \, kg$ and $2 \, kg$ are suspended respectively from its free end. Then the value of $L$ is equal to:

  • A
    $\sqrt{L_{1} L_{2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{L_{1}+L_{2}}{2}$
  • C
    $2L_{1}-L_{2}$
  • D
    $3L_{1}-2L_{2}$
