$A$ maximum current of $0.5 \ mA$ can pass through a galvanometer of resistance $15 \ \Omega$. The resistance to be connected in series to the galvanometer to convert it into a voltmeter of range $0-10 \ V$ is (in $\Omega$)

When a shunt resistance of $4r$ is connected to a galvanometer,it becomes an ammeter that can measure $0.03 \, A$. When a shunt resistance of $r$ is connected to the same galvanometer,it becomes an ammeter that can measure $0.06 \, A$. What is the current capacity $(i_g)$ of the galvanometer in $A$?
