Wheatstone bridge principle is used to measure the specific resistance (S1) of given wire, having length L, radius r.  If X is the resistance of wire, then specific resistance is : \(S_1=X\left(\frac{\pi \mathrm{r}^2}{\mathrm{~L}}\right)\).  If the length of the wire gets doubled then the value of the specific resistance will be:  

1
\(\frac{S_1}{4}\)
2
2S1  
3
\(\frac{S_1}{2}\)
4
S1
