Solution:

The slope of stress-strain curve with strain axis gives the value In the above graph strain is taken along y-axis. Therefore the slope of graph at temperature is less than the slope of graph at temperature . Now as we know with increase in temperature the value of modulus of elasticity decreases. Therefore temperature is greater than temperature .
