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 T1 is less than the slope of graph at temperature T2. Now as we know with increase in temperature the value of modulus of elasticity decreases. Therefore temperature T1 is greater than temperature T2.
