A wheatstone bridge is used to determine the value of unknown resistance $X$ by adjusting the variable resistance $Y$ as shown in the figure. For the most precise measurement of $X$, the resistances $P$ and $Q$:

A

should be approximately equal and are small

B

 should be very large and unequal

C

do not play any significant role

D

 should be approximately equal to $2 X$

(NEET-2022)

Solution

Resistance of $P \& Q$ should be approx. equal as it decreases error in experiment.
