An elastic string of unstretched length $I$ and force constant $k$ is stretched by a small length $x .$ It is further stretched by another small length $y$. The work done in the second stretching is (a) $\frac{1}{2} k x^{2}$ (b) $\frac{1}{2} k\left(x^{2}+y^{2}\right)$ (c) $\frac{1}{2} k y(2 x+y)$. (d) $\frac{1}{2} k x(x+2 y)$
