Two uniform wires A and B are of the same metal and have equal masses. The radius of wire A is twice that of wire B. The total resistance of A and B when connected in parallel is

a
4  Ω when the resistance of wire A is 4.25  Ω
b
5  Ω when the resistance of wire A is 4.25  Ω
c
4  Ω when the resistance of wire B is 4.25  Ω
d
4  Ω when the resistance of wire B is 4.20  Ω

detailed solution

Correct option is A

RARB=rBrA4 ⇒ RARB=124 =116 ⇒ RB=16RAWhen RA and RB are connected in parallel, then equivalent resistance Req=RARBRA+RB=1617 RAIf  RA=4.25  Ω then  Req=4  Ω
