$A$ galvanometer of $50 \, \Omega$ resistance has $25$ divisions. $A$ current of $4 \times 10^{-4} \, A$ gives a deflection of one division. To convert this galvanometer into a voltmeter having a range of $25 \, V$, it should be connected with a resistance of

  • A
    $2500 \, \Omega$ as a shunt
  • B
    $2450 \, \Omega$ as a shunt
  • C
    $2550 \, \Omega$ in series
  • D
    $2450 \, \Omega$ in series
