$A$ resistance of $20 \Omega$ is connected in the left gap of a metre bridge and an unknown resistance greater than $20 \Omega$ is connected in the right gap. When these resistances are interchanged,the balance point shifts by $20 \text{ cm}$. The unknown resistance is (in $\Omega$)

In a meter bridge experiment, the balance point is obtained at length $l_1$ cm from the left end when resistances in the left gap and right gap are $15 \text{ } \Omega$ and $R \text{ } \Omega$ respectively. When the resistance $R$ is shunted with an equal resistance, the new balance point is at $1.6 l_1$. The resistance $R$ in ohm is:

In the meter bridge experiment,the length $AB$ of the wire is $1 \ m$. The resistors $X$ and $Y$ have values $5 \ \Omega$ and $2 \ \Omega$ respectively. When a shunt resistance $S$ is connected in parallel to $X$,the balancing point is found to be $0.625 \ m$ from $A$. Then,the resistance of the shunt $S$ is (in $\Omega$)

In a meter bridge,a $30 \Omega$ resistance is connected in the left gap and a pair of resistances $P$ and $Q$ in the right gap. Measured from the left,the balance point is $37.5 \text{ cm}$ when $P$ and $Q$ are in series,and $71.4 \text{ cm}$ when they are in parallel. The values of $P$ and $Q$ (in $\Omega$) are:
