The circuit shown in the figure consists of a battery of $emf$ $\varepsilon = 10 \,V$ ; a capacitor of capacitance $C = 1.0$ $ \mu F$  and three resistor of values $R_1 = 2$ $\Omega$ , $R_2 = 2$ $\Omega$ and $R_3 = 1$ $\Omega$ . Initially the capacitor is completely uncharged and the switch $S$ is open. The switch $S$ is closed at $t = 0.$

At $t=,$ the equivalent circuit is

$I=\frac{\varepsilon}{R_{3}+\frac{R_{1} R_{2}}{R_{1}+R_{2}}}=\frac{10}{1+\frac{(2)(2)}{2+2}}=\frac{10}{1+1}=5 A$

Also, $I_{R_{1}} R_{1}=I_{R_{2}} R_{2} \Rightarrow \frac{I_{R_{1}}}{I_{R_{2}}}=\frac{R_{2}}{R_{1}}$

    This question contains statement$-1$ and statement$-2$. Of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements.

    statement$-1$ : The temperature dependence of resistance is usually given as $R=R_{0}(1+\alpha \Delta t)$. The resistance of a wire changes from $100\; \Omega$ to $150\; \Omega$ when its temperature is increased from $27^{\circ} C$ to $227^{\circ} C$. This implies that $\alpha=2.5$ $\times 10^{-3} /{ }^{\circ} C$

    statement$-2\;: R=R_{0}(1+\alpha \Delta t)$ is valid only when the change in the temperature $\Delta T$ is small and $\Delta R=\left(R-R_{0}\right) < < R_{0}$
