A shunt of resistance 1 Ω is connected across a galvanometer of 120 Ω resistance. A current of 5.5 ampere gives full scale deflection in the galvanometer. The current that will give full scale deflection in the absence of the shunt is nearly :

Answer: (4)

Solution

The current divides inversely as resistance: A, option (4).
