In a Wheatstone's bridge, three resistances $P, Q$ and $R$ connected in the three arms and the fourth arm is formed by two resistances $S_1$ and $S_2$ connected in parallel. The condition for the bridge to be balanced will be
  • A$\frac{P}{Q} = \frac{R}{{{S_1} + {S_2}}}$
  • B$\;\frac{P}{Q} = \frac{{2R}}{{{S_1} + {S_2}}}$
  • C$\;\frac{P}{Q} = \frac{{R\left( {{S_1} + {S_2}} \right)}}{{{S_1}{S_2}}}$
  • D$\;\frac{P}{Q} = \frac{{R\left( {{S_1} + {S_2}} \right)}}{{2{S_1}{S_2}}}$

    A resistance of $2 \Omega$ is comnected across one gap of a metre-bridge (the length of the wire is $100 \mathrm{~cm}$ ) and an unknown resistance, greater than $2 \Omega$, is connected across the other gap. When these resistance are interchanged, the balance point shifts by $20 \mathrm{~cm}$. Neglecting any corrections, the unknown resistance is
