An iron rod of length $2\, m$ and cross-sectional area of $50\, mm^2$ is stretched by $0.5\, mm$ when a mass of $250\, kg$ is hung from its lower end. The Young's modulus of the iron rod is:

  • A
    $19.6 \times 10^{20} \, N/m^2$
  • B
    $19.6 \times 10^{18} \, N/m^2$
  • C
    $19.6 \times 10^{10} \, N/m^2$
  • D
    $19.6 \times 10^{15} \, N/m^2$
