Two conductors of same length are connected in parallel as shown in the figure. Their cross-sectional areas are $A_1$ and $A_2$ and their resistivities are $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2$ respectively. The equivalent resistivity of this combination is

  • A
    $\frac{{\rho _1}{\rho _2}\left( {{A_1} - {A_2}} \right)}{{{A_1}{\rho _2} + {A_2}{\rho _1}}}$
  • B
    $\frac{{\rho _1}{\rho _2}\left( {{A_1} + {A_2}} \right)}{{{A_1}{\rho _1} + {A_2}{\rho _2}}}$
  • C
    $\frac{{\rho _1}{\rho _2}\left( {{A_1} - {A_2}} \right)}{{{A_1}{\rho _1} + {A_2}{\rho _2}}}$
  • D
    $\frac{{\rho _1}{\rho _2}\left( {{A_1} + {A_2}} \right)}{{{A_1}{\rho _2} + {A_2}{\rho _1}}}$
