Resistance in the two gaps of a meter bridge are $10\, ohm$ and $30\, ohm$ respectively. If the resistances are interchanged the balance point shifts by.............. $cm$

A

$33.3$

B

$66.67$

C

$25$

D

$50$

Solution

(d)$S = \left( {\frac{{100 – l}}{l}} \right).R$
Initially, $30 = \left( {\frac{{100 – l}}{l}} \right) \times 10 \Rightarrow l = 25\,cm$
Finally, $10 = \left( {\frac{{100 – l}}{l}} \right) \times 30 \Rightarrow l = 75\,cm$
So, shift = $50\,cm.$
