The correct answer is: $2480 \Omega$ in series.
$\begin{aligned} \mathrm{R} & =\frac{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{g}}}-\mathrm{G} \\ & \text { Here, } \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{g}}=\frac{50}{5}=10 \mathrm{~mA} \\ \therefore \quad \mathrm{R} & =\frac{25}{10 \times 10^{-3}}-20 \\ & =2480 \Omega \text { in series }\end{aligned}$
