30Two resistances and are connected in the two gaps of meter bridge and the null point is obtained at 20 cm from zero end. When the resistance of is connected in series with the smaller of the two resistances and , the null point shifts to 40 cm from left end. The value of smaller resistance in ohm isTap an option to check your answer.
