$A$ metal wire of $1 \text{ cm}$ length and $1 \text{ mm}$ radius has a resistance of $3 \times 10^{-3} \Omega$. If a wire of the same metal of length $3 \text{ cm}$ and radius $0.5 \text{ mm}$ is drawn,what is the resistance of the new wire (in $Omega$)?

  • A
    $0.036$
  • B
    $0.09$
  • C
    $1.2$
  • D
    $3.1$

This question contains statement-$1$ and statement-$2$. Of the four choices given after the statements,choose the one that best describes the two statements.
statement-$1$: The temperature dependence of resistance is usually given as $R=R_{0}(1+\alpha \Delta t)$. The resistance of a wire changes from $100 \; \Omega$ to $150 \; \Omega$ when its temperature is increased from $27^{\circ} C$ to $227^{\circ} C$. This implies that $\alpha=2.5 \times 10^{-3} /^{\circ} C$.
statement-$2$: $R=R_{0}(1+\alpha \Delta t)$ is valid only when the change in the temperature $\Delta t$ is small and $\Delta R=(R-R_{0}) << R_{0}$.
