Solution:
Here, $\alpha = 4 \times 10^{-3} \, K^{-1} $ at $T_0 = 20^{\circ} C$
Also, $R_t = R_0(1 + \alpha \Delta T)$
Here, $R_t = R_0 + 10\% $ of $R_0 = \frac{110}{100} R_0 = \frac{11}{10} R_0$
$ \therefore \, \, \frac{11}{10} R_0 = R_0 (1 + 4 \times 10^{-3} \Delta T ) $
or $\frac{11}{10} = 1 + 4 \times10^{-3} \Delta T $
or $4 \times10^{-3} \Delta T = \frac{1}{10} $
or $\Delta T =\frac{1}{4 \times10^{-2}} = 25^{\circ}C $
or$ \Delta T = T - T_{0} + 25^{\circ}C $
$\therefore \, T = T_{0 } + 25 = 20 + 25 = 45^{\circ}C$
