A compound bar consists of two bars of equal length. Steel bar cross -section is 3500 mm2and that of brass bar is 3000 mm2. These are subjected to a compressive load 100,000 N. If Eb = 0.2 MN/mm2 and Eb = 0.1 MN/mm2, the stresses developed are___________________?

A. b = 6 N/mm2 s = 12 N/mm2

B. b = 8 N/mm2 s = 16 N/mm2

C. b = 5 N/mm2 s = 10 N/mm2

D. b = 10 N/mm2 s = 20 N/mm 2
