When a galvanometer is shunted with a  6 ohm resistance, the deflection is reduced to one third. If the galvanometer is further shunted with a resistance of  3 ohm, the deflection is reduced to  (relative to first reading)                                                  

a
one – sixth
b
one – fifth
c
one - seventh
d
two – third

detailed solution

Correct option is C

shunt  s=Gn-1 G is the galvanometer resistance and n is no of tmes range is amplified first tme 6= G3-1  G=12 when further shunted by 3 ohms  equivalent shunt becomes 6 x36+3=2 again 2=12n-1 n=7
