A resistance of 2 ohm is connected across one gap of a metre-bridge(length of the wire is 100cm) and an unknown resistance , greater than 2 ohm is connected across the other gap.When these resistances are interchanged ,the balance point shifts by 20cm. Neglecting any corrections, the unknown resistance is ____________.

Using meterbridge principle
R be other resistance and x length in cm of wire across 2 ohm resi.
1) 2/R =x/(100-x)
2) R/2=(x+20)/(80-x)
Now solve these 2 eqn.s
4m 2nd eq.n take 2/R and equate
