Case $-$ $1$

$\frac{\mathrm{S}}{\mathrm{R}}=\frac{75}{25}\left(\frac{100-\ell}{\ell}\right)$

$\frac{S}{R}=3$

$S=3 \,R$         .......$(1)$

Case $-$ $2$

$\frac{S \times 10}{(S+10) R}=\frac{50}{50}$

$\mathrm{S} \times 10=(\mathrm{S}+10) \mathrm{R}$

$3 \mathrm{R} \times 10=(3 \mathrm{R}+10) \mathrm{R}$

$30=3 R+10$

$3 \mathrm{R}=20$

$R=\frac{20}{3}=6.67 \mathrm{\,ohm}$
