Resistances are connected in a meter bridge circuit as shown in the figure. The balancing length $l_{1}$ is $40\,cm$. Now an unknown resistance $x$ is connected in series with $P$ and the new balancing length is found to be $80\,cm$ measured from the same end. Then the value of $x$ will be $.......\Omega$.
