$A$ galvanometer of resistance $100 \Omega$ when connected in series with $400 \Omega$ measures a voltage of up to $10 \ V$. The value of resistance required to convert the galvanometer into an ammeter to read up to $10 \ A$ is $x \times 10^{-2} \Omega$. The value of $x$ is:

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $800$
  • C
    $20$
  • D
    $200$
