Correct Answer - C
`S=((G)/(n-1))=((30)/(2-1))=30Omega`
`I_g=((S)/(S+G))I=((30)/(30+30))I=0.51`
Now , `S=((I_g)/(I-I_g))G=((0.5I)/(21-0.5I))30=10Omega`.
Now , the effective resistance of galvanometer and its shunt is `10Omega`. Let R be the additional resistance connected across it.
Thus , `(1)/(10)=(1)/(30+(1)/(R) therefore R=15 Omega`.
