Two resistances $R_1=X \Omega$ and $R_2=1 \Omega$ are connected to a wire $A B$ of uniform resistivity, as shown in the figure. The radius of the wire varies linearly along its axis from $0.2 mm$ at $A$ to $1 mm$ at $B$. A galvanometer ($G$) connected to the center of the wire, $50 cm$ from each end along its axis, shows zero deflection when $A$ and $B$ are connected to a battery. The value of $X$ is. . . . .
