During an experiment with a metre bridge, the galvanometer shows a null point when the joceky is pressed at $40.0 \ cm$ using a standard resistance of $90 \ \Omega$, as shown in the figure. The least count of the scale used in the meter bridge is $1 \ mm$. The unknown resistance is:
  • A$60 \pm 0.15 \ \Omega$
  • B$135 \pm 0.56 \ \Omega$
  • C$60 \pm 0.25 \ \Omega$
  • D$135 \pm 0.23 \ \Omega$
