The correct answer is: $l$ decreases and $\mathrm{A}$ increases
The equation for self-inductance is:
$\mathrm{L}=\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{~N}^2 \mathrm{~A}}{l}$
$\therefore \quad$ The self-inductance $\mathrm{L}$ of a solenoid of length $l$ and area of cross section ' $\mathrm{A}$ ', with a fixed number of turns " $\mathrm{N}$ ' increases as / decreáses and $\mathrm{A}$ increases.
