A teacher in his physics laboratory allotted an experiment ot determine the resistance (G) of a galvanometer. Students took the observations for 1 3  deflection in the galvanometer. Which of the below is true for measuring value of G?

Option 1 - <p><span class="mathml" contenteditable="false"> <math> <mrow> <mfrac> <mrow> <mn>1</mn> </mrow> <mrow> <mn>3</mn> </mrow> </mfrac> </mrow> </math> </span> deflection method cannot be used for determining the resistance of the galvanometer.</p>
Option 2 - <p><span class="mathml" contenteditable="false"> <math> <mrow> <mfrac> <mrow> <mn>1</mn> </mrow> <mrow> <mn>3</mn> </mrow> </mfrac> </mrow> </math> </span>deflection in method can be used and in this case the G equals to twice the value of shunt resistance(s).</p>
Option 3 - <p><span class="mathml" contenteditable="false"> <math> <mrow> <mfrac> <mrow> <mn>1</mn> </mrow> <mrow> <mn>3</mn> </mrow> </mfrac> </mrow> </math> </span>deflection method can be used an in this case, the G equals to three times the value of shunt resistance(s).</p>
Option 4 - <p><span class="mathml" contenteditable="false"> <math> <mrow> <mfrac> <mrow> <mn>1</mn> </mrow> <mrow> <mn>3</mn> </mrow> </mfrac> </mrow> </math> </span>deflection method can be used and in this case, the G value equals to the shunt resistance(s).</p>

Correct Option - 1
Detailed Solution:
In galvanometer

( l l g ) S = l g G

I g l = S S + G

1 3 = S S + G S + G = 3 S G = 2 S
