Detailed Solution

Balanced condition PQ=RS

This condition is independent of emf of cell, hence if battery emf is decreased the bridge will remain balanced means no current will flow through the galvanometer. 

Also, if resistances are increased three times, we get

3P3Q=3R3S   

PQ=RS

Also, P+20Q+20R+20S+20
