The resistance of a wire is `5 Omega` at `50^@C` and `6 Omega` at `100^@C` . The resistance of the wire at `0^@C` will be

A

`1 Omega`

B

`2 Omega`

C

`3 Omega`

D

`4 Omega`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

For first case , `a=(5-R_0)/(50R_0)`
and for second case, `a=(6-R_0)/(100R_0)`
`therefore(5-R_0)/(50R_0)=(6-R_0)/(100R_0)`
`therefore R_0= 4 Omega`
