    The resistance per centimeter of a meter bridge wire is rr, with XΩX\Omega resistance in left gap. Balancing length from left end is at 40 cm40\text{ }cm with 25Ω25\Omega resistance in right gap. Now the wire is replaced by another wire of 2r2r resistance per centimeter. The new balancing length for same settings will be at
