A resistor is in left gap and a NTC semiconductor

Question

A resistor is in left gap and a NTC semiconductor is in right gap of a meter bridge.Balancing length is noted l.Both are heated so that change of resistance in them is the same .Now balancing length isA.equal to lB.greater than lC.less than lD.depends on temperature change

Lets assume inital length to be L, then resistor’s resistance r1 divided by semi conductor’s resistance r2 is L/(100-L). Now on heating r1 increases since collisions between the electrons and lattice increases. While on heating r2 decreases because no of free electrons inceases (that is electrons move from valance band to conduction band). Therefore newr1/newr2 increases, hence new L will be grater than L.
