Match Column-I and Column-II with appropriate relations.

In a Wheatstone bridge, all four arms have equal resistance \(R.\) If the resistance of the galvanometer arm is also \(R,\) the equivalent resistance of the combination is:

An electric kettle has two heating coils. When one of the coils is connected to an a.c. source, the water in the kettle boils in 10 minutes. When the other coil is used the water boils in 40 minutes. If both the coils are connected in parallel, the time taken by the same quantity of water to boil will be:

1. 8 min
2. 4 min
3. 25 min
4. 15 min
