Two resistances are connected in two gaps of a metre bridge. The balance point is 20 cm from the zero end. A resistance of \(3 \Omega\) is connected in series with the smaller resistance, then the null point shifts to 40 cm. The value of the smaller resistance is:
- A \(3 \Omega\)
- B \(6 \Omega\)
- C \(9 \Omega\)
- D \(12 \Omega\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(3 \Omega\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\( \frac{R_1}{R_2} = \frac{20}{100-20} = \frac{1}{4} \) \( R_2 = 4R_1 \) \( \frac{R_1+3}{R_2} = \frac{40}{100-40} = \frac{2}{3} \) \( \frac{R_1+3}{4R_1} = \frac{2}{3} \) \( 3(R_1+3) = 8R_1 \) \( 3R_1+9 = 8R_1 \) \( 5R_1 = 9 \) \( R_1 = 1.8 \, \Omega \)

Recombinant DNA Technology
Asexual reproduction preserves the genetic information, while sexual reproduction permits variation. Traditional hybridization procedures used in plants and animals breeding very often lead to inclusion and multiplication of undesirable genes along with the desired genes. The techniques of genetic engineering, which include creation of recombinant DNA, use of gene cloning and gene transfer, overcome this limitation and allow us to isolate and introduce only one or a set of desirable genes without introducing genes into the target organism.
