Detailed Solution

Resistance per unit length $= \frac{15 r}{6}$
For length $x, R x = \frac{15 r}{6} \times x$
a) For the loop PASQ $(i_{1} + i_{2}) \frac{15}{6} r x + \frac{15}{6} (6 - x) i_{1} + i_{1} R = E$ …….(1)
For the loop AWTM $- i_{2} . R - \frac{15}{6} r x (i_{1} + i_{2}) = E / 2$
$\Rightarrow i_{2} R + \frac{15}{6} r \times (i_{1} + i_{2}) = E / 2$ ………… (2)
For zero deflection galvanometer $i_{2} = 0 \Rightarrow \frac{15}{6} r x . i_{1} = E / 2 = i_{1} = \frac{E}{5 x . r}$
Putting $i_{1} = \frac{E}{5 x . r}$ and $i_{2} = 0$ in equation (1), we get x = 320 cm.

b) Putting $x = 5.6$ and solving equation (1) and (2) we get $i_{2} = \frac{3 E}{22 r}$
