In the meter bridge experiment, the length $AB$ of the wire is $1 \, m$. The resistors $X$ and $Y$ have values $5 \, \Omega$ and $2 \, \Omega$ respectively. When a shunt resistance $S$ is connected in parallel to $X$, the balancing point is found to be $0.625 \, m$ from $A$. Then, the resistance of the shunt $S$ is

$STATEMENT-1$: In a Meter Bridge experiment,a null point for an unknown resistance is measured. Now,the unknown resistance is placed inside an enclosure maintained at a higher temperature. The null point can be obtained at the same point as before by decreasing the value of the standard resistance.
$STATEMENT-2$: The resistance of a metal increases with an increase in temperature.

$A$ 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 ................ $\Omega$.
