In a meter bridge,the null point is located at $20 \ cm$ from the left end of the wire when resistances $R$ and $S$ are connected in the left and right gaps respectively. If the resistance $S$ is shunted with $60 \ \Omega$ resistance,the null point shifts by $5 \ cm$. The values of $R$ and $S$ are respectively:

  • A
    $24 \ \Omega, 6 \ \Omega$
  • B
    $6 \ \Omega, 24 \ \Omega$
  • C
    $5 \ \Omega, 20 \ \Omega$
  • D
    $20 \ \Omega, 5 \ \Omega$
