A thin uniform wire 
of length 1 m, an unknown resistance 
and a resistance of 
are connected by thick conducting strips as shown in figure. A battery and a galvanometer (with a sliding jockey connected to it) are also available. In the following diagram, connections are given to measure the unknown resistance 
using the principle of Wheatstone bridge. The appropriate connection are
