A meter bridge is set up to determine unknown resistance \(x\) using a standard \(10~\Omega\) resistor. The galvanometer shows the null point when the tapping key is at a \(52\) cm mark. End corrections are \(1\) cm and \(2\) cm respectively for end \(A\) and \(B\). Then the value of \(x\) is:

      
1. \(10.2~\Omega\)
2. \(10.6~\Omega\)
3. \(10.8~\Omega\)
4. \(11.1~\Omega\)

An unknown resistance R1 is connected in series with a resistance of 10 Ω. This combinations is connected to one gap of a metre bridge while a resistance R2 is connected in the other gap. The balance point is at 50 cm. Now, when the 10 Ω resistance is removed the balance point shifts to 40 cm. The value of R1 is (in ohm
