$\frac{100}{R+r}=\frac{90}{R}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{R+r}{R}=\frac{10}{9}$

$\Rightarrow \quad 1+\frac{0.5}{\mathrm{R}}=\frac{10}{9}$

$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{0.5}{\mathrm{R}}=\frac{1}{9}$

$\therefore R=4.5 \,\Omega$

    In the circuit shown below (on the left) the resistance and the emf source are both variable. The graph of seven readings of the voltmeter and the ammeter ( $V$ and $I$, respectively) for different settings of resistance and the emf, taken at equal intervals of time $\Delta t$, are shown below (on the right) by the dots connected by the curve $E F G H$. Consider the internal resistance of the battery to be negligible and the voltmeter an ammeter to be ideal devices. (Take, $R_0 \equiv \frac{V_0}{I_0}$ ).

    Then, the plot of the resistance as a function of time corresponding to the curve $E F G H$ is given by
