A wire of length ' $r$ ' and resistance $100 \Omega$ is divided into $10$ equal parts. The first $5$ parts are connected in series while the next $5$ parts are connected in parallel. The two combinations are again connected in series. The resistance of this final combination is:
  • $52 \Omega$
  • B
    $55 \Omega$
  • C
    $60 \Omega$
