Solution

The correct option is D $\frac{σ_{1} σ_{2}}{σ_{1} + σ_{2}}$
$R = R_{1} + R_{2} \frac{ρ l}{A} = \frac{ρ_{1} l}{A} + \frac{ρ_{2} l}{A} ρ = ρ_{1} + ρ_{2} \frac{1}{σ} = \frac{1}{σ_{1}} + \frac{1}{σ_{2}} σ = \frac{σ_{1} σ_{2}}{σ_{1} + σ_{2}}$

The correct option is D $\frac{σ_{1} σ_{2}}{σ_{1} + σ_{2}}$
$R = R_{1} + R_{2} \frac{ρ l}{A} = \frac{ρ_{1} l}{A} + \frac{ρ_{2} l}{A} ρ = ρ_{1} + ρ_{2} \frac{1}{σ} = \frac{1}{σ_{1}} + \frac{1}{σ_{2}} σ = \frac{σ_{1} σ_{2}}{σ_{1} + σ_{2}}$
