    Two copper wires have their masses in the ratio\[2:3\]and the lengths in the ratio\[3:4\]. The ratio of their resistance is

    A)  \[4:9\]                 

    B)         \[27:32\]

    C)  \[16:9\]              

    D)         \[27:128\]

    E)  \[1:2\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The resistance of one wire \[{{R}_{1}}=\rho \frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{A}_{1}}}\] and the resistance of second wire                 \[{{R}_{2}}=\rho \frac{{{l}_{2}}}{{{A}_{2}}}\] Ratio of their resistances                 \[\frac{{{R}_{1}}}{{{R}_{2}}}=\frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{A}_{1}}}\times \frac{{{A}_{2}}}{{{l}_{2}}}\] \[\because \] \[mass=density\times volume\] \[\because \] \[mass=density\times area\times length\] Or           \[\frac{{{R}_{1}}}{{{R}_{2}}}={{\left( \frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{2}}} \right)}^{2}}\times \frac{\rho {{A}_{2}}{{l}_{2}}}{\rho {{A}_{1}}\times {{l}_{1}}}\] Or           \[\frac{{{R}_{1}}}{{{R}_{2}}}={{\left( \frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{2}}} \right)}^{2}}\times \frac{{{m}_{2}}}{{{m}_{1}}}\] Or           \[\frac{{{R}_{1}}}{{{R}_{2}}}=\frac{9}{16}\times \frac{3}{2}\] Or           \[\frac{{{R}_{1}}}{{{R}_{2}}}=\frac{27}{32}\] \[{{R}_{1}}:{{R}_{2}}=27:32\]
