$A$ material '$B$' has twice the specific resistance of '$A$'. $A$ circular wire made of '$B$' has twice the diameter of a wire made of '$A$'. Then,for the two wires to have the same resistance,the ratio $\frac{l_B}{l_A}$ of their respective lengths must be

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $1$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{4}$
