A multi range current ammeter can be constructed by using a galvanometer circuit as shown in figure. We want a current meter that can measure 10 mA, 100 mA and 1A using a galvanometer of resistance 10 Ω and that produces maximum deflection for current 1 mA. Value of S1 + S2 + S3 in ohms is

Option 1 - <p>1/9 Ω</p>
Option 2 - <p>10/9 Ω<br>&lt;!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--&gt;<br>&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;</p>
Option 3 - <p>100/999 Ω<br>&lt;!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--&gt;<br>&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;</p>
Option 4 - <p>1/11 Ω</p>
