A galvanometer of \(50~\Omega\) resistance has \(25\) divisions. A current of \(4\times 10^{-4}~\text{A}\) gives a deflection of one division. To convert this galvanometer into a voltmeter having a range of \(25~\text{V}\), it should be connected with a resistance of:
| 1. | \(245~\Omega\) as a shunt |
| 2. | \(2550~\Omega\) in series |
| 3. | \(2450~\Omega\) in series |
| 4. | \(2500~\Omega\) as a shunt |
