A block has dimensions 1 cm, 2cm, 3cm Ratio of the maximum and minimum resistance between any two points of opposite faces of this block is

A

`9:1`

B

`1:9`

C

`18:1`

D

`1:6`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`R_(max)=rho(l_(max))/(A_(min))=rho(3)/(2)`
`R_(min)=rho(l_(min))/(A_(max))=rho(1)/(6)`
`therefore (R_(max))/(R_(min))=(3)/(2)xx(6)/(1)=9:1`
