The strain-stress curves of three wires of different materials are shown in the figure. $P, Q$ and $R$ are the elastic limits of the wires. The figure shows that

  • A
    Elasticity of wire $P$ is maximum
  • B
    Elasticity of wire $Q$ is maximum
  • C
    Tensile strength of $R$ is maximum
  • D
    None of the above is true

In plotting stress versus strain curves for two materials $P$ and $Q$,a student by mistake puts strain on the $y$-axis and stress on the $x$-axis as shown in the figure. Then the correct statement$(s)$ is(are):
$(A)$ $P$ has more tensile strength than $Q$
$(B)$ $P$ is more ductile than $Q$
$(C)$ $P$ is more brittle than $Q$
$(D)$ The Young's modulus of $P$ is more than that of $Q$
