A resistance of `2Omega` is connected across one gap of a metre-bridge(the length of the wire is 100 cm) and an unknown resistance, greater than `2Omega`, is connected across the other gap. When these resistances are interchanged, the balance points shifts by 20 cm. Neglecting any corrections, the unknown resistance is
A. `3 Omega`
B. `4 Omega`
C. `5 Omega`
D. `6 Omega`

Answer A) 3 ohm
Soln-:
2/x=y/(100-x)
200-2x=xy ......1
After interchanging
Y/x+20 = 2/(80-x)
80y-xy=2x+40 .......2
On solving equation 1 and 2
Y=3 ohm
