If only $\frac{1}{51}$ of the main current is to be passed through a galvanometer,then the shunt required is $R_1$. If only $\frac{1}{11}$ of the main voltage is to be developed across the galvanometer,then the resistance required is $R_2$. Find the ratio $\frac{R_2}{R_1}$.

  • A
    $\frac{1}{500}$
  • B
    $\frac{50}{9}$
  • C
    $\frac{500}{3}$
  • D
