As we learnt in

Work Done in Stretching Wire / Elastic P.E. -

=\frac{1}{2}\frac{YAl^{2}}{L}=\frac{1}{2}Fl

- wherein

L - Length of wire

l - increase in length

 

 Work done by constant force

W=\frac{1}{2}\times stress\times strain \times volume

W=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{F}{A}\times \frac{l}{L}.AL=\frac{Fl}{2}

W=\frac{Fl}{2}

Correct option is 4.
