Current
A
Voltage
V
Current
A
Voltage
V
0.23.94 3.0 59.2
0.47.87 4.0 78.8
0.6 11.8 5.0 98.6
0.8 15.7 6.0 118.5
1.0 19.7 7.0 138.2
2.039.4 8.0 158.0

Solution:  
We can find resistance of the alloy manganin for all the readings as follows
Current AVoltage VResistance Ω
0.2 3.9419.7
0.47.8719.675
0.6 11.8 19.667
0.815.7 19.625
1.0 19.7 19.7
2.0 39.4 19.7
3.0 59.219.13
4.0 78.8 19.7
5.098.6 19.72
6.0 118.519.75
7.0138.2 19.74
8.0158.0 19.75

here we can conclude that Ohm’s law is valid to a high accuracy and resistance of the alloy is nearly constant at all currents.
