A wire of cross-section \(A_{1}\) and length \(l_1\) breaks when it is under tension \(T_{1};\) a second wire made of the same material but of cross-section \(A_{2}\) and length \(l_2\) breaks under tension \(T_{2}.\) A third wire of the same material having cross-section \(A,\) length \(l\) breaks under tension \(\frac{T_1+T_2}{2}.\) Then:

1. \(A=\frac{A_1+A_2}{2},~l=\frac{l_1+l_2}{2}\)
2. \(l=\frac{l_1+l_2}{2}\)
3. \(A=\frac{A_1+A_2}{2}\)
4. \(A=\frac{A_1T_1+A_2T_2}{2(T_1+T_2)},~l=\frac{l_1T_1+l_2T_2}{2(T_1+T_2)}\)
