The correct answer is: \(>l \)
Given, balancing length of bridge with standard resistance in right gap and a resistance coil dipped in water in left gap is
\( I=1 \). If temperature of water is increased the new balancing length is greater than \( 1 \).
Unknown resistance is calculated as \( X=R \frac{l}{(1-l)} \)
If temperature increases then resistance increases. Thus, option (1) is correct.
