When a shunt of $4\,\Omega$ is attached to a galvanometer,the deflection reduces to $\frac{1}{5}$th of its initial value. If an additional shunt of $4\,\Omega$ is attached in parallel to the first,what will be the new deflection?

  • A
    $\frac{I}{13}$
  • B
    $\frac{I}{11}$
  • C
    $\frac{I}{9}$
  • D
    $\frac{I}{3}$
