We know that in In a balanced Wheatstone's network,

$\frac{ P }{ Q }=\frac{ R }{ S }$

If $Q$ is replaced by $S$ then ratio becomes $\frac{P}{S}=\frac{R}{Q}$ which is not equal to the previous ratio. Hence, network is not balanced.

    An unknown resistance $R_1$ is connected in series with a resistance of $10  \,\Omega$. This combinations is connected to one gap of a meter bridge while a resistance $R_2$ is connected in the other gap. The balance point is at $50\, cm$. Now, when the $10  \,\Omega$ resistance is removed the balance point shifts to $40\, cm$. The value of $R_1$ is (in $ohm$)
