This question has Statement-$I$ and Statement-$II$. Of the four choices given after the statements,choose the one that best describes the two statements.
Statement-$I$: Higher the range,greater is the resistance of an ammeter.
Statement-$II$: To increase the range of an ammeter,an additional shunt needs to be used across it.

The deflection in a moving coil galvanometer falls from $50$ divisions to $10$ divisions,when a shunt of $12 \Omega$ is connected with it. The resistance of the galvanometer coil is . . . . . . . (in $Omega$)

In an experiment to determine the figure of merit of a galvanometer by the half-deflection method,a student constructed the following circuit. He unplugged a resistance of $5200 \ \Omega$ in $R$. When $K_1$ is closed and $K_2$ is open,the deflection observed in the galvanometer is $26 \ \text{div}$. When $K_2$ is also closed and a resistance of $90 \ \Omega$ is removed in $S$,the deflection becomes $13 \ \text{div}$. The resistance of the galvanometer is nearly: (in $Omega$)
