Expert Solution
Introduction:

We are given resistances at 2 different temperatures. We have to find temperature coefficient of resistivity.

The resistance is dependent on temperature by following equation:

R=Ro1+αT-To

Here R is resistance at temperature T and Ro is resistance at temperature To.

We hence find the temperature coefficient of resistivity using above formula.
