The ratio of strains b to c equals the ratio of moduli Eb to Ec.The total load P is the sum of the loads Pb and Pc carried by the bars.The load P equals the sum of the products of stress and cross-sectional area for both bars.All the above statements are correct.None of the above.

Explanation

Option A states that the strain ratio corresponds to the ratio of elastic moduli. Option B confirms that the total load is shared between the two bars. Option C expresses that the total load equals the sum of stresses multiplied by their respective cross-sectional areas. Therefore, all these statements are accurate, making option D the correct choice.
