Two metallic wires of identical dimensions are connected in series. If $$\sigma_{1}$$ and $$\sigma_{2}$$ are the conductivities of the these wires respectively, the effective conductivity of the combination is :

Given below are two statements :

Statement I : A uniform wire of resistance $$80 \,\Omega$$ is cut into four equal parts. These parts are now connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance of the combination will be $$5 \,\Omega$$.

Statement II: Two resistances 2R and 3R are connected in parallel in a electric circuit. The value of thermal energy developed in 3R and 2R will be in the ratio $$3: 2$$.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the option given below
