Two wires of same metal have same length, but their cross sections are in the ratio 3 : 1. They are joined in series. The resistance of thicker wire is 10Ω.The total resistance of the combination will be

a
52Ω
b
403Ω
c
40Ω
d
100Ω

detailed solution

Correct option is C

We know that R= p(l/A)For same material and same lengthR1R2=A2A1=31  or  R1=3R˙2Given, R2=10Ω, hence R1=30ΩIn series, R = R1 +R2=30Ω+10Ω=40Ω
