When a galvanometer is shunted with a $4\,\Omega$ resistance, the deflection is reduced to one-fifth. If the galvanometer is further shunted with $2\,\Omega$ wire, the further reduction in the deflection will be (the main current remains same) 
  • A$\frac{8}{{13}}$ of the deflection when shunted with $4\,\Omega$ only 
  • B$\frac{5}{{13}}$ of the deflection when shunted with $4\,\Omega$ only 
  • C$\frac{3}{{4}}$ of the deflection when shunted with $4\,\Omega$ only 
  • D$\frac{3}{{13}}$ of the deflection when shunted with $4\,\Omega$ only

    Given below are two statements$:$

    Statement $I:$ Biot-Savart's law gives us the expression for the magnetic field strength of an infinitesimal current element (IdI) of a current carrying conductor only.

    Statement $II :$ Biot-Savart's law is analogous to Coulomb's inverse square law of charge $q$, with the former being related to the field produced by a scalar source, Idl while the latter being produced by a vector source, $q$. In light of above statements choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
