The resistances of the four arms \(P,Q,R~\text{and}~S\) in a Wheatstone’s bridge are \(10~\Omega,30~\Omega,30~\Omega\) and \(90~\Omega\) respectively. The emf and internal resistance of the cell are \(7~\text{V}\) and \(5~\Omega\) respectively. If the galvanometer resistance is \(50~\Omega\) the current drawn from the cell will be:
1. \(0.2~\text{A}\)
2. \(0.1~\text{A}\)
3. \(2.0~\text{A}\)
4. \(1.0~\text{A}\)
