In the meter bridge experiment,the length $AB$ of the wire is $1 \ m$. The resistors $X$ and $Y$ have values $5 \ \Omega$ and $2 \ \Omega$ respectively. When a shunt resistance $S$ is connected in parallel to $X$,the balancing point is found to be $0.625 \ m$ from $A$. Then,the resistance of the shunt $S$ is (in $Omega$)

In a meter bridge experiment,the balance point is obtained if the gaps are closed by $2 \Omega$ and $3 \Omega$ resistors. $A$ shunt of $X \Omega$ is added to the $3 \Omega$ resistor to shift the null point by $22.5 \text{ cm}$. The value of $X$ is: (in $Omega$)

Resistances are connected in a meter bridge circuit as shown in the figure. The balancing length $l_{1}$ is $40\,cm$. Now an unknown resistance $x$ is connected in series with $P$ and the new balancing length is found to be $80\,cm$ measured from the same end. Then the value of $x$ will be $.......\Omega$.

$A$ meter bridge is set up as shown,to determine an unknown resistance '$X$' using a standard $10 \ \Omega$ resistor. The galvanometer shows a null point when the tapping key is at the $52 \ cm$ mark. The end corrections are $1 \ cm$ and $2 \ cm$ respectively for the ends $A$ and $B$. The determined value of '$X$' is (in $Omega$)

In a meter bridge experiment,resistances are connected as shown in the figure. The balancing length $l_1$ is $55 \, cm$. Now,an unknown resistance $x$ is connected in series with $P$ and the new balancing length is found to be $75 \, cm$. The value of $x$ is
