(B) Initially,for a meter bridge,the balance condition is given by $\frac{P}{Q} = \frac{l}{100-l}$.Given $P = 2 \Omega$ and $Q = 3 \Omega$,we have $\frac{2}{3} = \frac{l}{100-l}$.$2(100-l) = 3l \Rightarrow 200 - 2l = 3l \Rightarrow 5l = 200 \Rightarrow l = 40 	ext{ cm}$.When an unknown resistor $R$ is connected in parallel with $3 \Omega$,the new resistance $Q'$ becomes $\frac{3R}{3+R}$.The null point shifts by $22.5 	ext{ cm}$ toward $Y$,so the new length $l' = 40 + 22.5 = 62.5 	ext{ cm}$.The new balance condition is $\frac{2}{Q'} = \frac{62.5}{100-62.5} = \frac{62.5}{37.5} = \frac{5}{3}$.Substituting $Q'$,we get $\frac{2}{\frac{3R}{3+R}} = \frac{5}{3} \Rightarrow \frac{2(3+R)}{3R} = \frac{5}{3}$.$6(3+R) = 15R \Rightarrow 18 + 6R = 15R \Rightarrow 9R = 18 \Rightarrow R = 2 \Omega$.

In a metre-bridge experiment,the balance point is obtained when the gaps are closed by $2 \Omega$ and $3 \Omega$ resistors. $A$ shunt of $x \Omega$ is added in parallel to the $3 \Omega$ resistor to shift the balance point by $22.5 \ cm$. The value of $x$ is: (in $Omega$)

The figure shows a rough sketch of a meter bridge. The galvanometer $(G)$ shows zero deflection at a length $l \, cm$. Now,$R_1$ and $R_2$ are interchanged,and the balancing length increases by $25 \, cm$. Find the ratio $R_1/R_2$.

Resistance in the two gaps of a meter bridge are $10 \, \Omega$ and $30 \, \Omega$ respectively. If the resistances are interchanged, the balance point shifts by .............. $cm$.

If the balance point is obtained at the $35^{th} cm$ in a meter bridge,the resistances in the left and right gaps are in the ratio of:
