$A$ meter bridge is set up as shown to determine the end corrections at $A$ and $B$. When a resistance of $15\,\Omega$ is used in the left gap and $20\,\Omega$ in the right gap,the null point is obtained at a distance of $42\,cm$ from $A$. When these resistances are interchanged,the null point is obtained at a distance of $57\,cm$ from $A$. The values of the end corrections are:

In a meter bridge,the resistances $R$ and $S$ are such that the null point is found at a distance of $40 \text{ cm}$ from one end. If a resistance of $10 \Omega$ is connected in parallel with shunt $S$,then the null point occurs at $90 \text{ cm}$ from the same end. The values of the two resistances $R$ and $S$ respectively are:

In a meter bridge experiment to determine the value of an unknown resistance,first the resistances $2 \Omega$ and $3 \Omega$ are connected in the left and right gaps of the bridge and the null point is obtained at a distance $l \ cm$ from the left. Now when an unknown resistance $x \ \Omega$ is connected in parallel to $3 \ \Omega$ resistance,the null point is shifted by $10 \ cm$ to the right of the wire. The value of unknown resistance $x$ is . . . . . . $\Omega$.
