PARAGRAPH FOR QUESTIONS NOS. 14 TO 15

Resistance value of an unknown resistor is calculated using the formula R = V / I where V and I are
the reading of the voltmeter and the ammeter, respectively. Consider the circuits below. The internal
resistances of the voltmeter and the ammeter (R V and R G , respectively) are finite and non-zero.
