In a meter bridge or Wheatstone bridge for the measurement of resistance,the known and the unknown resistances are interchanged. The error so removed is

Two wires $A$ and $B$ of equal lengths are connected in the left and right gaps of a metre bridge. The null point is obtained at $40 \ cm$ from the left end. If the diameters of the wires $A$ and $B$ are in the ratio $3:1$,what is the ratio of the specific resistance (resistivity) of $A$ to that of $B$ (in $:$)?

$A$ resistance of $2\,\Omega$ is connected across one gap of a meter-bridge and an unknown resistance,greater than $2\,\Omega$,is connected across the other gap. When these resistances are interchanged,the balance point shifts by $20\,cm$. Neglecting any end correction,the unknown resistance is ................ $\Omega$.
