According the Hooke’s law of elasticity. If stress is increased, the ratio of stress to strain
decreases
increases
becomes zero
remains constant
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to Hooke's law, within the elastic limit, stress is directly proportional to the strain i.e. Stress ∝ Strain or Stress = k strain where k is the proportionality constant and is known as modulus of elasticity.
