Answer Key / Explanation : (c) -

(c)

Let G be resistance of galvanometer and  the current through it. Let V is maximum potential difference, then from Ohm’s law

Given

Thus, on connecting a resistance R of 990  in series with the galvanometer, the galvanometer will become a voltmeter of range zero to 10V.
