Four resistors P, Q, R and S having resistances 3Omega,3Omega,4Omega and 6Omega respectively, are arranged to form a Wheatstone's bridge. The value of the resistance with which S must be shunted in order to balance the bridge is

Why are dark reactions also called thermochemical reactions?

Two resistances X Omega and Y Omega are connected in the left and right gap of a metre bridge. A null point was found on the bridge wire such that the ratio of lengths of two segments of wire is 2:3 . The distance of the null point was measured from the left end of the wire. When the valueof X is increased by 20 Omega , the position of the null point divides the wire into segments of lengths in the ratio 4:1 .Determine X and Y.
