Two resistances $X$ and $Y$ are connected in the two gaps of a meter bridge,and the null point is obtained at $20 \text{ cm}$ from the zero end. When a resistance of $20 \text{ } \Omega$ is connected in series with the smaller of the two resistances $X$ and $Y$,the null point shifts to $40 \text{ cm}$ from the left end. The value of the smaller resistance in ohms is:

  • A
    $6$
  • B
    $9$
  • C
    $12$
  • D
    $15$
