A meter bridge with two resistances $\displaystyle R_1$ and $\displaystyle R_2$ as shown in figure was balanced (null point) at $\displaystyle 40$ cm from the point $\displaystyle P$. The null point changed to $\displaystyle 50$ cm from the point $\displaystyle P$, when $\displaystyle 16 \Omega$ resistance is connected in parallel to $\displaystyle R_2$. The values of resistances $\displaystyle R_1$ and $\displaystyle R_2$ are $\displaystyle \_\_\_\_$.

Official answer
From NTA’s final answer key for this paper.
(4)
$\displaystyle R_2=8 \Omega, R_1=\frac{16}{3} \Omega$
