Correct answer: D. 4

For meter bridge: (R)/(l) = (X)/(100 - l) 1 → (1000)/(60) = (X)/(40) ⇒ X = (2000)/(3) = 666.67Ω 2 → (100)/(13) = (X)/(27) ⇒ X = 669.23Ω 3 → (10)/(1.5) = (X)/(98.5) ⇒ X = 656.67Ω 4 → (1)/(1) = (X)/(99) ⇒ X = 99Ω Resistance calculated by using data from 4 th observation is most inconsistent.
