The stress-strain curves are drawn for two different materials $X$ and $Y$. It is observed that the ultimate strength point and the fracture point are close to each other for material $X$ but are far apart for material $Y$. We can say that materials $X$ and $Y$ are likely to be (respectively), (1) Plastic and ductile (2) Ductile and brittle (3) Brittle and ductile (4) Brittle and plastic

Answer (3)
Sol. As given that fracture point and ultimate strength point is close for material $\mathrm{X}$,

So, $\mathrm{X}$ is brittle in nature and both points are far apart for material $Y$ therefore, it is ductile.
i.e $\mathrm{X}$ is brittle and $\mathrm{Y}$ is ductile in nature.
