In the experimental setup of meter bridge shown in the figure, the null point is obtained at a distance of $40\,cm$ from $A$. If a $10\,\Omega $ resistor is connected in series with $R_1$, the null point shifts by $10\,cm$. The resistance that should be connected in parallel with $\left( {{R_1} + 10} \right)\,\Omega $ such that the null point shifts back to its initial position is .............. $\Omega$
