$A$ galvanometer has a resistance of $50 \ \Omega$ and it allows a maximum current of $5 \ mA$. It can be converted into a voltmeter to measure up to $100 \ V$ by connecting in series a resistor of resistance: (in $\Omega$)

The sensitivity of a galvanometer of resistance $171 \, \Omega$ becomes $1/20$ times when we use a shunt of $x \, \Omega$. Find $x$ ................. $\Omega$.

An ammeter has a range of $1 \, A$ without a shunt. The range can be varied by using different shunt resistances. The graph between shunt resistance $(S)$ and range $(I)$ will have the nature of which curve shown in the figure?

The number of turns of the coil of a moving coil galvanometer is increased in order to increase current sensitivity by $50 \%$. The percentage change in voltage sensitivity of the galvanometer will be $..........\%$

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: If the number of turns in the coil of a moving coil galvanometer is doubled,then the current sensitivity becomes double.
Statement $II$: Increasing the current sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer by only increasing the number of turns in the coil will also increase its voltage sensitivity in the same ratio.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:
