Detailed Solution

For option (3)

 To increase the range of ammeter a parallel resistance (called shunt) is required which is given by

S=igi-igG

S=50×10-65×10-3-50×10-6(100)=1Ω

 

For option (2)

To change it in voltmeter, a high resistance R is put in series, where R is given by R=Vig-G

 

R=1050×10-6-100=200kΩ

Therefore, options (2) and (3) are correct.
