: I failed to relate it with electrostatics

The Attempt at a Solution

:[/B]
I feel the given information is insufficient to determine the answer.
something about the charge of the cross sectional area or atleast something more should have been mentioned.

How are the current densities related between the two sections? What about the current itself?

OK, then let's talk about charge carriers. You have two conductors one narrower than the other. Electrons flow through them like water molecules in a pipe under pressure. You are at a fixed point on the narrow conductor and count how many electrons per second pass before you. Your friend does the same thing on the wide conductor. Answer these two questions and you will see what's going on.
1. Who counts more electrons per second?
2. Given your previous answer, who sees electrons move by more quickly?
