Given below are two statements :
Statement I : A uniform wire of resistance $80 \mathrm{\Omega }$ is cut into four equal parts. These parts are now connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance of the combination will be $5 \mathrm{\Omega }$.

Statement II : Two resistance $2R$ and $3R$ are connected in parallel in an electric circuit. The value of thermal energy developed in $3R$ and $2R$ 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
• Correct answer
  C

  Statement I is correct but statement II is incorrect
• D

  Statement I is incorrect but statement II is correct.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
