The stress-strain curves are drawn for two different materials 
and 
. It is observed that the ultimate strength point and the fracture point are close to each other for material 
but are far apart for material 
. We can say that materials 
and 
are likely to be respectively [NEET 2019]

The stress-strain curve for a material is shown below
This curve specifies the behaviour of material.
For the material, if distance between strength point and fracture point is small, so it is brittle and will break easily on the application of some extra stress after point D.
For material Y, if the distance between strength point and fracture point is large, so it is a ductile material and can withstand for some extra stress beyond point D.)
