A galvanometer having 50 divisions provided with a variable shunt S is used to measure the current when connected in series with a resistance of `90 Omega` and a battery of internal resistance `10 Omega`. It is observed that when the shunt resistances are `10 Oemga` and `50 Omega`, the deflections are, respectively, 9 and 30 divisions. What is the resistance of the galvanometer
