Correct answer: D
Working through it, option D is the one — under sudden full load the peak stress doubles versus gradual loading, and since strain energy scales with σ², the stored energy becomes four times the gradual case, matching “4 times”. Re-read the stem once before finalising — nearby options are often close distractors.

Straight to the answer: option A, hoop (circumferential) stress σ_h = pr/t governs thin-cylinder design because it is twice the longitudinal stress and sets the wall thickness, matching “hoop stress”. MPSC revisits this idea across RTO cycles, so lock the underlying relation, not just the letter.

The right pick is option D; dM/dx equals shear force, so bending moment reaches a maximum where the shear-force diagram crosses zero, matching “zero”. Underline the key noun in the stem, then eliminate options that name a related but different concept.

The verified answer here is option B: preventing thermal expansion forces the bar into compression when temperature rises, because the material wants to lengthen but is restrained, matching “compressive stress”. If two options look similar, check the definition word-for-word against the stem.

The examiner has marked option B, where Hooke's law applies only within the elastic limit — beyond that permanent set begins even before the yield point is fully developed, matching “Elastic limit”. A five-second sanity check against units, sign, or definition usually kills the distractors.

You want option B on this one — plain-carbon and alloy steels typically show Poisson's ratio between about 0.25 and 0.33 because of their crystalline elasticity, matching “0.25 to 0.33”. Re-read the stem once before finalising — nearby options are often close distractors.
