Solution

The correct option is A 220 Ω

Equivalent circuit of meter- bridge will be as shown below.


Applying condition for balanced Wheatstone bridge for the given situation,

5520=R10020

R=220 Ω

Hence, option (a) is correct.

If deflection in galvanometer is zero, then the condition for balanced Wheatstone bridge can be applied.
RQ=PX
X=R×QPX=100llR
