Detailed Solution

Here volume remains constant. Thus
πr12l=πr22(11l/10)
or πr22=1011πr12
When wire is stretched by 1/10 of its original length, the new length of wire becomes (11 / / 10)}
Let the new resistance be R2. Then
R2=ρ1110lπr22=(11/10)ρl(10/11)πr12=(11/10)10/11)ρlπr12=(11/10)(10/11)×10=12110=121Ω
