If suppose initial length ${l_1} = 100$ then ${l_2} = 100 + 100 = 200$
$\frac{{{R_1}}}{{{R_2}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{l_1}}}{{{l_2}}}} \right)^2} = {\left( {\frac{{100}}{{200}}} \right)^2}$ $ \Rightarrow $ ${R_2} = 4{R_1}$
$\frac{{\Delta R}}{R} \times 100 = \frac{{{R_2} - {R_1}}}{{{R_1}}} \times 100 = \frac{{4{R_1} - {R_1}}}{{{R_1}}} \times 100$$ = 300\% .$
