Answer:
Option C
Explanation:
We have X+Y=1000Ω

Initially, Xl=1000−X100−l ..............(i)
When X and Y are interchanged, then

1000−Xl−10=X100−(l−10)
OR 1000−Xl−10=X110−l .........(ii)
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
100−ll=l−10110−l
(100−l)(110−l) = (l−10)l
11000−100l−110l+l2=l2−10l
⇒ $11000=200l$
∴ $l=55 cm$
Substituting the value of l in Eq. (i), we get
X55=1000−55100−55
⇒ 20X=11000
X= 550Ω
