We have two wires $A$ and $B$ of the same mass and same material. The diameter of wire $A$ is half that of wire $B$. If the resistance of wire $A$ is $24 \, \Omega$,then the resistance of wire $B$ will be ................ $\Omega$.

  • A
    $12$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $1.5$
  • D
    None of the above
