Two different conductors have the same resistance at $0\,^{\circ}C.$ It is found that the resistance of the first conductor at $t_1\,^{\circ}C$ is equal to the resistance of the second conductor at $t_2\,^{\circ}C.$ The ratio of the temperature coefficients of resistance of the conductors,$\frac{\alpha_1}{\alpha_2}$ is

  • A
    $\frac{t_1}{t_2}$
  • B
    $\frac{t_2 - t_1}{t_2}$
  • C
    $\frac{t_2 - t_1}{t_1}$
  • D
    $\frac{t_2}{t_1}$
