Two tangent galvanometers $A$ and $B$ are identical except in their number of turns. They are connected in series. On passing a current through them,deflections of $60^{\circ}$ and $30^{\circ}$ are produced. The ratio of the number of turns in $A$ and $B$ is

$A$ galvanometer coil has a resistance $90\, \Omega$ and full-scale deflection current $10\, mA$. $A$ $910\, \Omega$ resistance is connected in series with the galvanometer to make a voltmeter. If the least count of the voltmeter is $0.1\, V$,the number of divisions on its scale is:
