Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: $A$ uniform wire of resistance $80\,\Omega$ is cut into four equal parts. These parts are now connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance of the combination will be $5\,\Omega$.
Statement $II$: Two resistances $2\,R$ and $3\,R$ are connected in parallel in an electric circuit. The value of thermal energy developed in $3\,R$ and $2\,R$ will be in the ratio $3:2$.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

  • A
    Both statement $I$ and statement $II$ are correct.
  • B
    Both statement $I$ and statement $II$ are incorrect.
  • C
    Statement $I$ is correct but statement $II$ is incorrect.
  • D
    Statement $I$ is incorrect but statement $II$ is correct.
