JEE MAIN - Physics (2019 - 10th April Morning Slot - No. 17)

In a meter bridge experiment, the circuit diagram and the corresponding observation table are shown in figure JEE Main 2019 (Online) 10th April Morning Slot Physics - Current Electricity Question 239 English
SI. No. R($$\Omega $$) l(cm)
1. 1000 60
2. 100 13
3. 10 1.5
4. 1 1.0
Which of the readings is inconsistent?
4
3
2
1

Explanation

$$as\,x = {{R\left( {100 - l} \right)} \over l}$$

$$for\,(A)\,\,\,\,x = {{1000 \times \left( {100 - 60} \right)} \over {40}} \approx 667$$

$$for\,(B)\,\,\,\,\,x = {{100 \times \left( {100 - 13} \right)} \over {13}} \approx 669$$

$$for\,(C)\,\,\,\,\,x = {{10 \times \left( {100 - 1.5} \right)} \over {98.5}} \approx 667$$

$$for\,(D)\,\,\,\,\,x = {{1 \times \left( {100 - 1} \right)} \over 1} \approx 667$$

So reading in serial no. (4) is completely different hence correct answer (A).
