$\Rightarrow \mathrm{R}_{2}=1000-\mathrm{R}_{1}$
On balancing condition
$\mathrm{R}_{1}(100-I)=\left(1000-\mathrm{R}_{1}\right) l$ ...$(i)$
On Interchaanging resistance balance point shifts left by $10 \,cm$
On balancing condition $\left(1000-R_{1}\right)(110-l)=R_{1}(l-10)$
or, $\mathrm{R}_{1}(l-10)=\left(1000-\mathrm{R}_{1}\right)(110-l) \ldots(\mathrm{ii})$
Dividing eqn $(i)$ by $(ii)$
$\frac{100-l}{l-10}=\frac{l}{110-l}$
$\Rightarrow \quad(100-l)(110-l)=l(l-10)$
$ \Rightarrow 11000 - 100l - 110l + {l^2} = {l^2} - 10l$
$\Rightarrow 11000=200 l$
or, $l=55$
Putting the value of $'l'{\rm{in}}\,{\rm{eqn}}(i)$
$\mathrm{R}_{1}(100-55)=\left(1000-\mathrm{R}_{1}\right) 55$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{R}_{1}(45)=\left(1000-\mathrm{R}_{1}\right) 55$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{R}_{1}(9)=\left(1000-\mathrm{R}_{1}\right) 11$
$\Rightarrow 20 \mathrm{R}_{1}=11000$
$\therefore \quad \mathrm{R}_{1}=550\, \mathrm{K\Omega}$



Reason : The current flows towards the point of the higher potential, as it does in such a circuit from the negative to the positive terminal.
$Y :$ The resistivity of a semiconductor decreases with increases of temperature.
$Z :$ In a conducting solid, the rate of collision between free electrons and ions increases with increase of temperature.
