Answer

$9.3\%$

Work Step by Step

We know that $\frac{R-R_0}{R_0}=\alpha ∆T$ For gold we have $\frac{R-R_0}{R_0}×100=7\%$ $\alpha_G ∆T×100=7\% \hspace{2cm}(i)$ let $x$ be increase in percentage for tungsten. Therefore for Tungsten we have $\frac{R-R_0}{R_0}×100=x$ $\alpha_T ∆T×100=x \hspace{2cm}(ii)$ Dividing $(ii)$ by $(i)$ $\frac{x}{7\%}=\frac{\alpha_T}{\alpha_G}$ $\implies x = \frac{0.0045(C^o)^-1} {0.0034(C^o)^-1}×7\%$ $\implies x =9.3\%$
