$R_1$ and $R_2$ are two resistors made of different materials. The temperature coefficient of resistance for $R_1$ is $\alpha$ and for $R_2$ is $-\beta$. If the resistance of the series combination of $R_1$ and $R_2$ does not change with temperature,then the ratio of the resistances of the two wires is:

  • A
    $\alpha/\beta$
  • B
    $\frac{\alpha + \beta}{\alpha - \beta}$
  • C
    $\frac{\alpha^2 + \beta^2}{\alpha \beta}$
  • D
    $\beta/\alpha$
