$A$ galvanometer of resistance $G$ is converted into a voltmeter of range $0-1\, V$ by connecting a resistance $R_{1}$ in series with it. The additional resistance that should be connected in series with $R_{1}$ to increase the range of the voltmeter to $0-2\, V$ will be

  • A
    $R_{1}$
  • B
    $R_{1}+G$
  • C
    $R_{1}-G$
  • D
    $G$
