An unknown resistance is connected in a left gap of a metre bridge . The balance point is obtained when a resistance of `10 Omega` is taken out from the resistance box in the right gap. On increasing the resistance from the resistance box by `12.5 Omega` the balance point shifts by 20 cm.
find the unknown resistance.
