In a meter bridge experiment,a null point is obtained at $20 \ cm$ from one end of the wire when resistance $X$ is balanced against another resistance $Y$. If $X < Y$,then where will be the new position of the null point from the same end,if one decides to balance a resistance of $4X$ against $Y$ (in $cm$)?

If the balance point is obtained at the $35^{th} cm$ in a meter bridge,the resistances in the left and right gaps are in the ratio of:

$A$ meter bridge is set up as shown to determine the end corrections at $A$ and $B$. When a resistance of $15\,\Omega$ is used in the left gap and $20\,\Omega$ in the right gap,the null point is obtained at a distance of $42\,cm$ from $A$. When these resistances are interchanged,the null point is obtained at a distance of $57\,cm$ from $A$. The values of the end corrections are:

On interchanging the resistances,the balance point of a meter bridge shifts to the left by $10 \, cm$. The resistance of their series combination is $1 \, k\Omega$. How much was the resistance on the left slot before interchanging the resistances? ................... $\Omega$

In a metre bridge experiment,the ratio of the left gap resistance to the right gap resistance is $2:3$. The balance point from the left is: (in $cm$)
