If Assertion is true but Reason is false.

(C) In a meter bridge,the balance condition is given by $\frac{R}{S} = \frac{l}{100-l}$,where $R$ is the unknown resistance and $S$ is the standard resistance.When the unknown resistance $R$ is placed in a higher temperature enclosure,its resistance increases because the resistance of metals increases with temperature $(R_t = R_0(1 + \alpha \Delta T))$.To maintain the same null point position $(l)$,the ratio $\frac{R}{S}$ must remain constant.Since $R$ has increased,$S$ must also be increased to keep the ratio $\frac{R}{S}$ constant.The Assertion states that we should decrease $S$,which is incorrect.Therefore,the Assertion is false,while the Reason is true.

Assertion $(A):$ In a meter bridge experiment,the unknown resistance is placed inside an enclosure maintained at a higher temperature. The null point can be obtained at the same position as before by decreasing the value of the standard resistance.
Reason $(R):$ The resistance of a metal increases with an increase in temperature.

In a meter bridge experiment,the null point is obtained at $20 \ cm$ from one end of the wire when resistance $X$ is balanced against resistance $Y$. If $X < Y$,then the distance of the new null point from the same end when a resistance of $4X$ is balanced against $Y$ will be ............ $cm$.

In a meter bridge experiment,$S$ is a standard resistance and $R$ is a resistance wire. It is found that the balancing length is $l = 25 \; cm$. If $R$ is replaced by a wire of half the length and half the diameter of $R$ but of the same material,then the new balancing length $l^{\prime}$ (in $cm$) will be:
