A teacher in his physics laboratory allotted an experiment to determine the resistance 
of a galvanometer. Students took the observations for 
deflection in the galvanometer. Which of the below is true for measuring value of G?
A
deflection method cannot be used for determining the resistance of the galvanometer.
B
deflection method can be used and, in this case, the 
equals to twice the value of shunt resistance(s).
C
deflection method can be used and, in this case,, the 
equals to three times the value of shunt resistance(s)
D
deflection method can be used and, in this case, the 
value equals to the shunt resistance(s).
