Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: $A$ uniform wire of resistance $80\,\Omega$ is cut into four equal parts. These parts are now connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance of the combination will be $5\,\Omega$.
Statement $II$: Two resistances $2\,R$ and $3\,R$ are connected in parallel in an electric circuit. The value of thermal energy developed in $3\,R$ and $2\,R$ will be in the ratio $3:2$.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

  • A
    Both statement $I$ and statement $II$ are correct.
  • B
    Both statement $I$ and statement $II$ are incorrect.
  • C
    Statement $I$ is correct but statement $II$ is incorrect.
  • D
    Statement $I$ is incorrect but statement $II$ is correct.

Consider a block of conducting material of resistivity $\rho$ shown in the figure. Current $I$ enters at $A$ and leaves from $D$. We apply the superposition principle to find the voltage $\Delta V$ developed between $B$ and $C$. The calculation is done in the following steps: $(i)$ Take current $I$ entering from $A$ and assume it to spread over a hemispherical surface in the block. $(ii)$ Calculate the field $E(r)$ at distance $r$ from $A$ by using Ohm's law $E=\rho j$,where $j$ is the current per unit area at $r$. $(iii)$ From the $r$ dependence of $E(r)$,obtain the potential $V(r)$ at $r$. $(iv)$ Repeat $(i), (ii)$ and $(iii)$ for current $I$ leaving $D$ and superpose results for $A$ and $D$. $\Delta V$ measured between $B$ and $C$ is
