A potentiometer wire of length 1000 cm h...

A potentiometer wire of length 1000 cm has a resistance of 10 ohms. It is connected in series with a resistance and a cell of e.m.f 2 volts and of negligible internal resistance. A source of e.m.f 10 millivolts is balanced against a length of 40 cm of the potentiometer wire. What is the value of the external resistance?
