    The Wheatstone bridge shown in Fig. here, gets balanced when the carbon resistor used as $R_1$ has the colour code (Orange, Red, Brown). The resistors $R_2$ and $R_4$ are $80\, \Omega $ and $40\,\Omega $, respectively. Assuming that the colour code for the carbon resistors gives their accurate values, the colour code for the carbon resistor, used as $R_3$ would be
