Figure shows a Meter bridge wire AC has uniform cross-section. The length of wire AC is 100 cm X is a standard resistor of 4 Ω and Y is a coil. When Y is immersed in melting ice the null point is at 40 cm from point A. When the coil Y  is heated to 100°C, a 12 Ω resistor has to beconnected in parallel with Y in order to keep the bridge balanced at the same point. The temperature coefficient of resistance of the coil is x×10-2 SI units. Find the value of x.

Consider the meter bridge circuit without neglecting end corrections. If we used 100 Ω and 200 Ω resistance in place of R and S respectively, we get null deflection at l1=33.0 cm. If we interchange the resistances, the null deflection was found to be at l2=67.0 cm. If α and β are the end correction, then the value of α+β should be
