Answer:
Resistance = 1.634 * 10^-2 ohm

Explanation:
The resistance can be calculated using the following rule:
Resistance = (ρL) / A
where:
ρ is the resistivity = 1.7 * 10^-8 
L is the length of the wire = 2 m
A is the cross sectional area of the wire = 2.08 * 10^-6 m²

Substitute with the givens in the above equation to get the resistance as follows:
Resistance = (1.7 * 10^-8 * 2) / (2.08 * 10^-6)
Resistance = 1.634 * 10^-2 ohm

Hope this helps :)

Ans: the correct option is (a)

[tex]R = p\frac{l}{A} [/tex]

where, R is the resistance.
p is the resisitvity (p=  1.7 10∧-8 mΩ-m)
A is the Area (2.08 x 10∧-6 m∧2)
L is the length = 2.0 m

⇒ [tex]R =1.7*10^{-8}( \frac{2}{2.8*10^{-6}} )[/tex]
⇒ R = 1.6 *10^{-2} ohm
