An unknown resistance R1 is connected in series with a resistance of 10Ω. This combination is connected to one gap of a metre bridge while a resistance R2 is connected in the other gap. The balance point is at 50 em. Now, when the 10 Ω resistance is removed the balance position shifts to 40 em. The value of R1 is (in ohm)
