Current is directly proportional to area
I~a,
A = φR^2.
And diameter is proportional to radius then finally current carrying capacity increases by R^2 time I.e 4 times.

R= pl/a if a = φ d^2/ 4 sub value if R= pl*4/d^2 if d=2 cm assume if d = 4cm double sub value R = pl * 4/16.
R =V/I.
V/I = pl/4.
I = 4V/pl.
R =V/I.
V/I = pl/4.
I = 4V/pl.

Yes, it is right.
Because R = (resitivity*Lenth)/Area.
Area = pi(r1*r1).
Because R = (resitivity*Lenth)/Area.
Area = pi(r1*r1).

But current carrying capacity is different thing compared to current decrease, that's what I feel.

If Wire diameter increases, resistance increases, current decreases.

r = pl/a.
i = v/r.
i = v/r.

R = (Resistivity*Length)/Area.
In both case resistivity = 1 & l = 1.
R = 1/A.
V/I = 1/A if V = 1.
R = 2r.
I = 4*r^2.
In both case resistivity = 1 & l = 1.
R = 1/A.
V/I = 1/A if V = 1.
R = 2r.
I = 4*r^2.

Conductivity = 1/restivity.
Conductivity = l/RA.
There is length of conductor is l.
Cross section area of conductor is A.
A = 3.14*r^2.
Conductivity = l/R*3.14*r^2.
Then diameter is double then r = 2r.
Then Conductivity = l/R*3.14*(2r)^2.
= l/R*3-14*4r^2.
= 1/4(l/R*3-14r^2).
Then answer is 1/4.
Conductivity = l/RA.
There is length of conductor is l.
Cross section area of conductor is A.
A = 3.14*r^2.
Conductivity = l/R*3.14*r^2.
Then diameter is double then r = 2r.
Then Conductivity = l/R*3.14*(2r)^2.
= l/R*3-14*4r^2.
= 1/4(l/R*3-14r^2).
Then answer is 1/4.

Can anyone explain the answer? I really need the solution.

The answer should be A, then why is that D is the answer?
Can anyone explain this?
