Two similar galvanometers are converted into an ammeter and a milliammeter. The shunt resistance of the ammeter as compared to the shunt resistance of the milliammeter will be

When a shunt of $4\,\Omega$ is connected to a galvanometer,the deflection reduces to $1/5$ of its initial value. If an additional shunt of $2\,\Omega$ is connected in parallel,what will be the new deflection?

The deflection in a galvanometer falls to $\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{th}$ of its initial value when it is shunted by a resistor of $3 \Omega$. If an additional shunt of $2 \Omega$ is connected in parallel to the earlier shunt,the deflection in the galvanometer falls to:
