उत्तर
When balance point is at 40 cm, we have
`RS=40/(100−40)=40/60`
`=>R/S=2/3`
`=>3R=2S...........(i)`
When a resistance of 10 Ω is added in series with R,Then, equivalent reistance at R is R′=R+10Now, balance point is at 60 cm.So, we have
`(R+10)/S=60/(100−60)=60/40`
`(R+10)/S=3/2`
⇒2R+20=3S
⇒2R−3S=−20 .....(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii), we get
S=12 Ω
R=8 Ω
