When the value of $R$ in the balanced Wheatstone bridge, shown in the figure, is increased from $5 \Omega$ to $7 \Omega$, the value of $S$ has to be increased by $3 \Omega$ in order to maintain the balance. What is the initial value of $S$ (in $\Omega$)?

  • A
    $2.5$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $5$
  • D
