The resistance of an iron wire is $10\,\Omega$ and the temperature coefficient of resistivity is $5 \times 10^{-3}\,^{\circ}C^{-1}$. At $20\,^{\circ}C$,it carries $30\,mA$ of current. Keeping the potential difference between its ends constant,the temperature of the wire is raised to $120\,^{\circ}C$. The current in milliamperes that flows in the wire is:

  • A
    $20$
  • B
    $15$
  • C
    $10$
  • D
    $40$
