In a meter bridge,the wire of length $1\, m$ has a non-uniform cross-section such that the variation $\frac{dR}{d\ell}$ of its resistance $R$ with length $\ell$ is $\frac{dR}{d\ell} \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\ell}}$. Two equal resistances are connected as shown in the figure. The galvanometer has zero deflection when the jockey is at point $P$. What is the length $AP$?

  • A
    $0.2$
  • B
    $0.3$
  • C
    $0.25$
  • D
    $0.35$
