$A$ galvanometer having a coil resistance of $30\,\Omega$ shows full-scale deflection when a current of $2\,A$ passes through it. It can be converted into an ammeter to read currents up to $10\,A$ by:

  • A
    by putting in series a resistance of $240\,\Omega$
  • B
    by putting in parallel a resistance of $240\,\Omega$
  • C
    by putting in series a resistance of $7.5\,\Omega$
  • D
    by putting in parallel a resistance of $7.5\,\Omega$
