Well Keshav !..

mention the variable that you are doubling....Length or area of cross section of the Resistance..

If you will double the length ... New resistance will be 8 ohm

and if you will double the area ... new resistance will be 2 ohm ...

Reason is simple because resistance is directly proportional to length while inversely proportional to area ..

Now if you are put a resistance on the 4ohm ...then both will come in parallel and the new resistance will be 2 ohm ..!

The length of the wire is halved. As length is directly proportional to the resistance the resistance will be halved and the new resistance will be 2 ohm
