A potentiometer $PQ$ is set up to compare two resistances as shown in the figure. The ameter $A$ in the circuit reads $1.0\, A$ when two way key $K_3$ is open. The balance point is at a length $l_1\, cm$ from $P$ when two way key $K_3$ is plugged in between $2$ and $1$ , while the balance point is at a length $l_2\, cm$ from $P$ when key $K_3$ is plugged in between $3$ and $1$ . The ratio of two resistances $\frac{{{R_1}}}{{{R_2}}}$ is found to be
  • A$\frac{{{l_1}}}{{{l_1} + {l_2}}}$
  • B$\frac{{{l_2}}}{{{l_2} - {l_1}}}$
  • C$\frac{{{l_1}}}{{{l_1} - {l_2}}}$
  • D$\frac{{{l_1}}}{{{l_2} - {l_1}}}$

    Assertion : All electric devices shown in the circuit are ideal. The reading of each of ammeter $(a)$ and voltmeter $(V)$ is zero.

    Reason : An ideal voltmeter draws almost no current due to very large resistance, and hence $(V)$ and $(a)$ will read zero.
