In a Wheatstone bridge (see fig.), Resistances $P$ and $Q$ are approximatelyequal. When $R=400 \Omega$, the bridge is balanced. On interchanging $\mathrm{P}$ and $\mathrm{Q}$, the value of $\mathrm{R},$ for balance, is $405 \Omega$. The value of $Y$ is close to
  1. $401.5 \mathrm{ohm}$
  2. $404.5 \mathrm{ohm}$
  3. $403.5 \mathrm{ohm}$
  4. $402.5 \mathrm{ohm}$

Solution

$402.5 \mathrm{ohm}$
