A moving coil galvanometer, having a resistance G, produces full scale deflection when a current IG flows through it. This galvanometer can be converted into (i) an ammeter of range 0 to IoI0>Ig by connecting a shunt resistance RA to it and (ii) into a voltmeter of range 0 to VV=GI0 by connecting a series resistance RV to it. Then,
  1. RARV=G2I0-IgIg and RARV=IgI0-Ig2 
  2. RARV=G2 and RARV=IgI0-Ig
  3. RARV=G2IgI0-Ig and RARV=I0-IgIg2
  4. RARV=G2 and RARV=IgI0-Ig2

Solution

For ammeter: I0-IG×  RA=IG×GI0=IG×G+RARA
For voltmeter: V0=IGG+RV
V0=I0×G
IG×G+RV=IG×G+RA×GRA
RA×G+RV×RA=G2+RA×G
RVRA=G2
Again,   RARV=IG×GI0-IG×IGI0-IG×G=IG2I0-IG2
