$\frac{\Delta l}{l}=0.1$ $\therefore l=1.1$
but the area also decreases by $0.1$ mass $=\rho l A=V \rho $ $\ln l+\ln A=\ln$ mass.
$\therefore \frac{\Delta l}{l}+\frac{\Delta A}{A}=0 \Rightarrow \frac{\Delta l}{l}=\frac{-\Delta A}{A}$
Length increases by $0.1,$ resistance increases, area decreases by $0.1,$ then also resistance will increase.
Total increase in resistance is approximately $1.2$ times, due to increase in length and decrease in area. But specific resistance does not change.
