In a circuit for finding the resistance of a galvanometer by half deflection method, a $\displaystyle 6$ V battery and a high resistance of $\displaystyle 11 \mathrm{k} \Omega$ are used. The figure of merit of the galvanometer is $\displaystyle 60 \mu \mathrm{~A} /$ division. In the absence of shunt resistance, the galvanometer produces a deflection of $\displaystyle \theta=9$ divisions when current flows in the circuit. The value of the shunt resistance that can cause the deflection of $\displaystyle \theta / 2$, is closest to :
