Two voltmeters have the same range 0-400 V. The internal impedance are 30,000 Ohms and 20,000 Ohms. If they are connected in series and 600 V be applied across them, the readings are
  • A360 V and 240 V
  • B300 V each
  • C400 V and 200 V
  • Done of the meters out of the range and other 100 V

By applying voltage division rule,

Voltage across first voltmeter $({V_1} = 600 \times \left( {\frac{{30000}}{{50000}}} \right) = 360\;V)$

Voltage across first voltmeter $({V_1} = 600 \times \left( {\frac{{20000}}{{50000}}} \right) = 240\;V)$
