The balancing condition for meter bridge is,

$\frac{X}{R}=\frac{l_{1}}{100-l_{1}}$

$X=R\left(\frac{l_{1}}{100-l_{1}}\right)$

$12=18\left(\frac{l_{1}}{100-l_{1}}\right)$

$1200=30 l_{1}$

$l_{1}=40 \mathrm{cm}$

When $R=8$ ohm,

$12=8\left(\frac{l_{2}}{100-l_{2}}\right)$

$1200=20 l_{2}$

$l_{2}=60 \mathrm{cm}$

Hence, distance through $J$ is shifted is

$l=l_{2}-l_{1}=20 \mathrm{cm}$
