| Assertion (A): | On elastic bodies, though we apply force and experience elongation, it is a general practice to plot stress versus strain instead of plotting force versus elongation graph. |
| Reason (R): | Stress versus strain plotting makes the graph independent of the geometry of the sample body and reflects only the material property. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
