In a metre bridge experiment,the null point is obtained at $20 \,cm$ from the left end of the wire,when resistance $X$ is balanced against another resistance $Y$ $(X < Y)$. To balance a resistance $4X$ against $Y$,the new position of the null point from the same end will be: (in $\,cm$)

  • A
    $40$
  • B
    $80$
  • C
    $60$
  • D
    $50$

In a metre-bridge experiment,the balance point is obtained when the gaps are closed by $2 \Omega$ and $3 \Omega$ resistors. $A$ shunt of $x \Omega$ is added in parallel to the $3 \Omega$ resistor to shift the balance point by $22.5 \ cm$. The value of $x$ is: (in $\Omega$)

In the meter bridge experiment,the length $AB$ of the wire is $1 \ m$. The resistors $X$ and $Y$ have values $5 \ \Omega$ and $2 \ \Omega$ respectively. When a shunt resistance $S$ is connected in parallel to $X$,the balancing point is found to be $0.625 \ m$ from $A$. Then,the resistance of the shunt $S$ is (in $\Omega$)
