Given  :  V = 5V

Lenght of wire l = 0.1m 

V= 2.5 *10-4 m/s

Electron Density n = 0.8 * 1028 m-3

We know the drift velocity and current are related by the formula

i = neAVd       ................. (1) where n is electron density, e is charge on electron, A is area of cross section and Vd is drift velocity.

also i = V/R  and R = ρl/A where ρ is resitivity l is length of conductor

So 

i = VA/ρl

put value of i in equation (1) we get 

VA/ρl = neAVd

or ρ = V/nelV

Put values of all, 

ρ= 5 / 0.1 * 8 * 1028 * 1.6 * 10-19 * 2.5 * 10-4 

after solving we get, 1.5625 * 10-5 

Approx 1.6 * 10-5  Ωm
