$A$ ring is made of a wire having a resistance $R_0 = 12 \,\Omega$. Find the points $A$ and $B$,as shown in the figure,at which a current-carrying conductor should be connected so that the resistance $R$ of the sub-circuit between these points is equal to $\frac{8}{3} \,\Omega$.

Consider two circuits, $(A)$ and $(B)$, each having two resistors. One of them has a positive temperature coefficient of resistance, $+\alpha$, while the other one has a negative temperature coefficient of resistance, $-\alpha$. The current through these circuits are denoted by $I_A$ and $I_B$. At initial temperature, the resistance of the two resistors is $R_0$. As the temperature is increased, the correct option that describes the variation of current in these circuits is:
