$A$ Wheatstone bridge is used to determine the value of an unknown resistance $X$ by adjusting the variable resistance $Y$ as shown in the figure. For the most precise measurement of $X$,the resistances $P$ and $Q$:

  • A
    should be approximately equal and are small
  • B
    should be very large and unequal
  • C
    do not play any significant role
  • D
    should be approximately equal to $2X$
