Answer:
(a) Resistance of a wire is directly proportional to the length of a wire; so if the length is doubled, resistance is also doubled. (b) Resistance of a wire is inversely proportional to the area of cross-section the wire. Thus, if radius is doubled, area increases four times and hence the resistance becomes one-fourth.
