Topic: JEE PYQ

Answer: C. Full step-by-step solution below.

A $increases for both$
B $decreases for both$
C $increases, decreases respectively$
D $decreases, increases respectively$

Correct answer: C

Solution

(c) If we increase the temperature, the specific resistance (resistivity) of conductor increases while that of semiconductor decreases.
