In a meter bridge,a $30 \Omega$ resistance is connected in the left gap and a pair of resistances $P$ and $Q$ in the right gap. Measured from the left,the balance point is $37.5 \text{ cm}$ when $P$ and $Q$ are in series,and $71.4 \text{ cm}$ when they are in parallel. The values of $P$ and $Q$ (in $\Omega$) are:

$A$ meter bridge with two resistances $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ as shown in the figure was balanced (null point) at $40 \text{ cm}$ from the point $P$. The null point changed to $50 \text{ cm}$ from the point $P$, when a $16 \ \Omega$ resistance is connected in parallel to $R_{2}$. The values of resistances $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ are . . . . . . .

In a meter bridge experiment, the circuit diagram and the corresponding observation table are shown in the figure.

Which of the readings is inconsistent?

In the figure shown,for given values of $R_1$ and $R_2$,the balance point for the jockey is at $40\,cm$ from $A$. When $R_2$ is shunted by a resistance of $10\, \Omega$,the balance point shifts to $50\,cm$. Find $R_1$ and $R_2$. $(AB = 1\,m)$

The resistances in the left and right gaps of a balanced metre bridge are $12 \Omega$ and $36 \Omega$ respectively. If the resistances are interchanged,the balance point shifts by:
