Detailed Solution

The Young's modulus is determined by the stress vs strain graph's slope.
The graph shows the angle that the line in the stress vs. strain graph makes in each scenario.
We are aware that slope equals tanθ.
The slope in the case of material (A) is equal to tan60°
The slope in Material (B) is tan30°.

We know that the slope is equal to Young's modulus,

YA=tan 60°=3

YB=tan 30°=13

YAYB=tan 60°tan 30°=313=3

3YB=YA

Hence the correct answer is YA=3YB.
