A cylindrical conductor of length l  uniform area of cross-section A has resistance R. What should be the area of cross-section of another conductor of same material to have the same resistance.

Dear Student,
Resistance of a conductor,
 R=ρlAwhere,ρ is the resistivity of the materiall = length of the conductorA = area of cross-section of the material

For another conductor of same material to have the same resistance, the area of cross-section can be determined in terms of its length.
Let the length of the conductor be l' and its area of cross-section be A', then
ρl'A'=Rρl'A'=ρlAl'A'=lAA'=All'

Regards
