$A$ meter bridge setup is shown in the figure. It is used to determine an unknown resistance $R$ using a given resistor of $15\,\Omega$. The galvanometer $(G)$ shows null deflection when the tapping key is at the $43\,cm$ mark from end $A$. If the end correction for end $A$ is $2\,cm$ and for end $B$ is $1\,cm$,then the determined value of $R$ will be . . . . . . $\Omega$.

In a meter bridge experiment,a null point is obtained at $20 \ cm$ from one end of the wire when resistance $X$ is balanced against another resistance $Y$. If $X < Y$,then where will be the new position of the null point from the same end,if one decides to balance a resistance of $4X$ against $Y$ (in $cm$)?

Two resistances are connected in two gaps of a meter bridge. The balance point is $20 \ cm$ from the zero end. $A$ resistance of $15 \ \Omega$ is connected in series with the smaller of the two. The null point shifts to $40 \ cm$. The value of the smaller resistance in $\Omega$ is

When two resistances $R_1$ and $R_2$ are connected in series and introduced into the left gap of a meter bridge and a resistance of $10 \ \Omega$ is introduced into the right gap,a null point is found at $60 \ cm$ from the left side. When $R_1$ and $R_2$ are connected in parallel and introduced into the left gap,a resistance of $3 \ \Omega$ is introduced into the right gap to get a null point at $40 \ cm$ from the left end. The product $R_1 R_2$ is $............. \ \Omega$.
