Q. Two springs have spring constants $K_{A}$ and $K_{B}$ and $K_{A} > K_{B}.$ The work required to stretch them by same extension will be

A) More in spring $A$
B) More in spring $B$
C) Equal in both
D) Nothing can be said
Explanation

(a) Work done in stretching $(W) \propto$ Stiffness of spring ($i.e.\ k$)
$\because k_{A} > k_{B} \Rightarrow W_{A} > W_{B}$ [For same extension]
