The correct answer is: Ω
Here, the current sensitivity is 10 divmA and there are 100 divisions on the scale. So, the current required for full-scale deflection is

Ig=110×100 mA=10 mA

= 0.01 A

Also, the voltage sensitivity is 2 divmV so the voltage required for full-scale deflection is

Vg=12×100 mV

= 0.05 V

Galvanometer resistance is given by

G=VgIg=0.050.01

=5 Ω
