b

4.25 x 10-6\(\Omega\)m

c

2.40 x 10-7\(\Omega\)m

d

1.70 x 10-8\(\Omega\)m

NOte : IT should be 0.4425

And formula is Resistivity=RxA/r

Pls the formulae to the answer should be resistance * area

resistance= resistivity × area/ length
R= 0.425×0.2×10^-6 /5
R=8.5×10^-8/5
R= 1.7×10^-8

resistivity=RA/l
=5×0.2×10^-6/0.425
=2.4×10^-6ohmsmeter
