Solution

The correct option is A 2507 Ω
Total initial resistance = 30+2000=2030 ohm.
Battery voltage= 2v
Current =2/2030=0.98×103
Full scale deflection of 25 divisions was obtained .
In order to reduce this deflection to 20 divisions the resistor in series should be, current i= 2025×0.98×103 as full scale deflection for 0.98×103 are 25 divisions.
Let the resistance be r ohm
2=2030×0.98×103=r×2025×0.98×103
r=2537ohm
Galvanometer resistance 30 ohm .
Resistance to be added (2537-30)=2507 ohm
