The increase in the length of a wire on stretching is \(0.04\)%. If Poisson's ratio for the material of wire is \(0.5,\) then the diameter of the wire will:

1. decrease by \(0.02\)%. 2. decrease by \(0.01\)%.
3. decrease by \(0.04\)%. 4. increase by \(0.03\)%.

Poisson's ratio of a material is \(0.5.\) If the force is applied to a wire of this material, decrement in cross-sectional area of the wire is \(4\text{%}.\) The percentage increase in its length is:
1. \(1\text{%}\)
2. \(2\text{%}\)
3. \(2.5\text{%}\)
4. \(4\text{%}\)
