    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 $ohm$)
