Answer

$Y_3\lt Y_1=Y_2\lt Y_4$

Work Step by Step

The expression for the Young modulus is given as $Y=\frac{F}{A}(\frac{L}{\Delta L})$ For rod 1: $Y_1=\frac{F}{A}(\frac{L}{\Delta L})$ For rod 2: $Y_2=\frac{F}{2A}(\frac{2L}{\Delta L})=Y_1$ For rod 3: $Y_3=\frac{2F}{2A}(\frac{L}{2\Delta L})=\frac{Y_1}{2}$ For rod 4: $Y_4=\frac{3F}{A}(\frac{\frac{L}{2}}{\Delta L})=\frac{3Y_1}{2}$
