An ammeter gives full deflection when a current of $2\, amp$. flows through it. The resistance of ammeter is $12 \,\Omega$. If the same ammeter is to be used for measuring a maximum current of $5\, amp$., then the ammeter must be connected with a resistance of
  • A$8 \,\Omega$ in series
  • B$18 \,\Omega$ in series
  • C$8 \,\Omega$ in parallel
  • D$18 \,\Omega$ in parallel
