A wire of length \(L\) and radius \(r\) is clamped rigidly at one end. When the other end of the wire is pulled by a force \(F\), its length increases by \(5\,cm\). Another wire of the same material of length \(4 L\) and radius \(4\,r\) is pulled by a force \(4\,F\) under same conditions. The increase in length of this wire is \(....cm\).
- A \(2\)
- B \(3\)
- C \(4\)
- D \(5\)

- A person lives in a high-rise building on the bank of a river \(50\, m\) wide. Across the river is a well lit tower of height \(40\, m\). When the person, who is at a height of \(10\, m\), looks through a polarizer at an appropriate angle at light of the tower reflecting from the river surface, he notes that intensity of light coming from distance \(X\) from his building is the least and this corresponds to the light coming from light bulbs at height \('Y'\) on the tower. The values of \(X\) and \(Y\) are respectively close to (refractive index of water \( \simeq \frac{4}{3})\)
