In the figure shown below, the maximum and minimum possible unknown resistance (X), that can be measured by the post office box are Xmax and Xmin respectively. Then the ratio of these two resistances is: (In this experiment, we take out only one plug in arm AB and only one plug in arm BC, but in arm AD we can take any no. of plugs):

Correct Option - 4
Detailed Solution:

  P Q = R X X m a x = R m a x . Q m a x P m i n

= 9 0 0 0 * 1 0 0 0 1 0 = 9 * 1 0 5 o h m

x m i n = R m i n . Q m i n P m a x = 1 0 0 * 1 0 1 0 0 0 = 1 o h m
