Q.

A cylindrical conductor of length l and uniform area of cross-section A has resistance R. The area of cross-section of another conductor of same material and same resistance but of length 2l is:

1 0.5 A  
2 1.5 A  
3 2 A  
4 3 A

For a conductor, R=ρlA

R1R2=L1L2×A2A1A2=R1R2×L2L1A1A2=RR×2llAA2=2A
