Which error of meter bridge is removed when the known and unknown resistances are interchanged?

In a meter bridge when the resistance in the left gap is 4 Omega and an unknown resistance in the right gap the balance point is obtained at 40 cm from the zero end. On shunting the unknown resistance with 4 Omega , find the shift of the balance point on the bridge wire

In a metre bridge when the resistance in the left gap is 2Omega and an unknown resistance in the right gap, the balance point is obtained at 40 cm from the zero end. On shunting the unknown resistance with 2Omega find the shift of the balance point on the bridge wire.
