The sliding contact $C$ is at one-fourth of the length of the potentiometer wire $(AB)$ from $A$ as shown in the circuit diagram. If the resistance of the wire $AB$ is $R_0$,then the potential drop $(V)$ across the resistor $R$ is

  • A
    $\frac{4 V_0 R}{3 R_0 + 16 R}$
  • B
    $\frac{4 V_0 R}{3 R_0 + R}$
  • C
    $\frac{2 V_0 R}{4 R_0 + R}$
  • D
    $\frac{2 V_0 R}{2 R_0 + 3 R}$

An electrical circuit consists of ten $100 \,\Omega$ resistors. Out of these $10$ resistors,a group of $n_1$ resistors are connected in parallel and another group of $n_2$ resistors are separately connected in parallel. These two groups are then connected in series and this combination is connected to a voltage source of $100 \,V$. If the net current through the circuit is $2.5 \,A$,the values of $n_1$ and $n_2$ are:
