A moving coil galvanometer, having a resistance produces full scales deflection when a current flows through it. It can be converted into an ammeter of range to by connecting a shunt of resistance to it. If it can also be converted into a voltmeter of range to by connecting a resistance to it in series, then which among the following is correct?

A galvanometer has a 50 division scale. Battery has no internal resistance. It is found that there is deflection of 40 divisions when Deflection becomes 20 divisions when resistance taken from resistance box is 4900 Ω. Then we can conclude :

Higher the range, greater is the resistance of ammeter.
To increase the range of ammeter, additional shunt needs to be used across it.
