Detailed Solution

Concept:  The potential difference between the two resistances is equal, according to the circuit schematic. Here, galvanometer resistance (G) equals current (I) through the galvanometer
Using a galvanometer, build an ammeter, voltmeter, and wattmeter.
As given in the question,
I(G) =0.2% of I
0.2100I  OR 1500I
Current passing through shunt
I(S) = I- I(G) 
= I- 1500 I
=499500I
Shunt and Galvanometer are in parallel series
S= G499
Resistance = 1G+1S
=1G+1G499
=500G
Resistance= G500
