The two wires $A$ and $B$ of equal cross-section but of different materials are joined together. The ratio of Young's modulus of wire $A$ and wire $B$ is $20/11$. When the joined wire is kept under certain tension the elongations in the wires $A$ and $B$ are equal. If the length of wire $A$ is $2.2\text{ m}$,then the length of wire $B$ is . . . . . . m.

  • A

  • B
    $2.22$
  • C
    $1.21$
  • D
