The diagram shows stress versus strain curve for the materials and . From the curves, we can infer that

Options
- A is brittle but is ductile
- B is ductile but is brittle
- CBoth and are ductile
- DBoth and are brittle
Correct answer
B. is ductile but is brittle
Step-by-step solution
According to stress-strain curve, we see that for same value of applied stress, strain produced is more in material than in material in linear region. Therefore, is ductile but is brittle. In ductile materials, yield point exists whereas in brittle material failure occurs without yielding. has yield point hence it is ductile. doesn't have yield point hence is brittle.
