Detailed Solution

a: Here, resistance of galvanometer, 
G=100Ω 
Current for ul scale deflection, lg=30mA 
 =30×103A
Range of voltmeter, V=30V 
To convert the galvanometer into an voltmeter of a given range, a resistance R is connected in series with it as shown in the figure.  
From figure. V=lgG+R 
Or R=VlgG 
=3030×103100Ω=1000100=900Ω
