A galvanometer (coil resistance 99 Ω) is converted into an ammeter using a shunt of 1 Ω and connected as shown in the figure a. The ammeter reads 3 A. The same galvanometer is converted into a voltmeter by connecting a resistance of 101 Ω in series. This voltmeter is connected as shown in the figure b. Its reading is found to be 45 of the full-scale reading. FindQuestion Image

Two unknown resistances X and Y are placed on the left and right gaps of a meter bridge. The null point in the galvanometer is obtained at a distance of 80 cm from left. A resistance of 100 Ω is now connected in parallel across X. The null point is then found by shifting the sliding contact towards left by 20 cm. Calculate X and Y.
