Wires P and Q have the same resistance at ordinary (room) temperature. When heated, resistance of P increases and that of Q decreases. We conclude that :
P and Q are conductors of different materials
P is N-type semiconductor and Q is P-type semiconductor
P is semiconductor and Q is conductor
P is conductor and Q is semiconductor

Solution:

Resistance of conductor increases with increasing temperature and resistance of semiconductor decreases with increasing temperature.
