CAIE A-Level Physics AS 9.3.7 The Resistance of a Light Dependent Resistor Ldr Decreases Questions question 1

[Maximum number: 1]

A car has sensors for detecting the light intensity and temperature of its environment.
The sensors make use of a light-dependent resistor (LDR) and a thermistor.
The car moves from a warm and dark environment into a cold and bright environment.
What are the changes to the resistances of the LDR and thermistor?
