In the diagram shown, the reading of voltmeter is 20 V and that of ammeter is 4 A. The value of R should be (consider given ammeter and voltmeter are not ideal) :

(1) Equal to 5 Ω

(2) Greater from 5 Ω

(3) Less than 5 Ω

(4) Greater or less than 5 Ω depends on the material of R

Which is a wrong statement :

(1) The Wheatstone bridge is most sensitive when all the four resistances are of the same order

(2) In a balanced Wheatstone bridge, interchanging the positions of galvanometer and cell affects the balance of the bridge

(3) Kirchhoff's first law (for currents meeting at a junction in an electric circuit) expresses the conservation of charge

(4) The rheostat can be used as a potential divider
