A Wheatstone bridge is used to determine the value of unknown resistance \(\mathrm{X}\) by adjusting the variable resistance \(\mathrm{Y}\) as shown in the figure. For the most precise measurement of \(\mathrm{X}\), the resistances \(\mathrm{P}\) and \(\mathrm{Q}\):
             
 
1. do not play any significant role.
2. should be approximately equal to \(2\mathrm{X}\).
3. should be approximately equal and are small.
4. should be very large and unequal.

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 \(7~\text{volt}\) 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. \(1.0~\text{A}\)

Three resistances \(\mathrm P\), \(\mathrm Q\), and \(\mathrm R\), each of \(2~\Omega\) and an unknown resistance \(\mathrm{S}\) form the four arms of a Wheatstone bridge circuit. When the resistance of \(6~\Omega\) is connected in parallel to \(\mathrm{S}\), the bridge gets balanced. What is the value of \(\mathrm{S}\)?
1. \(2~\Omega\)
2. \(3~\Omega\)
3. \(6~\Omega\)
4. \(1~\Omega\)
