In the meter bridge shown,the resistance $X$ has a negative temperature coefficient of resistance. Neglecting the variation in other resistors,when current is passed for some time in the circuit,the balance point should shift towards:

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:

Two known resistances are connected in two gaps of a meter bridge. The null point is obtained at $20 \ cm$ from the zero end. $A$ resistance of $15 \ \Omega$ is connected in series with the smaller of the two. The null point shifts to $40 \ cm$. The smaller resistance is (in $\Omega$)

$A$ meter bridge is set up as shown to determine the end corrections at $A$ and $B$. When a resistance of $15\,\Omega$ is used in the left gap and $20\,\Omega$ in the right gap,the null point is obtained at a distance of $42\,cm$ from $A$. When these resistances are interchanged,the null point is obtained at a distance of $57\,cm$ from $A$. The values of the end corrections are:

In an experiment to determine the temperature coefficient of resistance of a conductor,a coil of wire $X$ is immersed in a liquid. It is heated by an external agent. $A$ meter bridge setup is used to determine the resistance of the coil $X$ at different temperatures. The balancing points measured at temperatures $t_1=0^{\circ} C$ and $t_2=100^{\circ} C$ are $50 \ cm$ and $60 \ cm$ respectively. If the standard resistance taken out is $S=4 \ \Omega$ in both trials,the temperature coefficient of the coil is
