$A$ galvanometer of resistance $50 \ \Omega$ is connected to a battery of $8 \ V$ along with a resistance of $3950 \ \Omega$ in series. $A$ full-scale deflection of $30$ divisions is obtained in the galvanometer. In order to reduce this deflection to $15$ divisions,the resistance in series should be . . . . . . $\Omega$.
