$A$ galvanometer of resistance $50 \Omega$ gives a full-scale deflection for a current of $5 \times 10^{-4} \text{ A}$. The resistance that should be connected in series with the galvanometer to read $3 \text{ V}$ is: (in $\Omega$)

In a galvanometer,the deflection becomes one half when the galvanometer is shunted by a $20\,\Omega$ resistor. The galvanometer resistance is ............... $\Omega$.

The sensitivity of a galvanometer of resistance $406\, \Omega$ is decreased by $30$ times. The shunt used is .................. $\Omega$.

This question has Statement-$I$ and Statement-$II$. Of the four choices given after the statements,choose the one that best describes the two statements.
Statement-$I$: Higher the range,greater is the resistance of an ammeter.
Statement-$II$: To increase the range of an ammeter,an additional shunt needs to be used across it.

The scale of a galvanometer is divided into $160$ equal divisions. The galvanometer shows full scale deflection of $16$ mA and maximum voltage is $80$ mV. Now the range is changed so that the galvanometer reads $160$ $V$. The required resistance to be connected is
