Q.

A potentiometer PQ is set up to compare two resistances as shown in the figure. The ammeter A in the circuit reads 1.0 A when two way key K3 is open. The balance point is at a length l1 cm from P when two-way key K3 is plugged in between 2 and 1, while the balance point is at a length l2cm from P when key K3 is plugged in between 3 and 1. The ratio of two resistances R1R2 is found to be :
