2. \(-r\) and \(\varepsilon \)
3.   \(r\) and \(-\varepsilon \)
4. \(-\varepsilon \) and \(r\)

A potentiometer circuit is set up as shown.The potential gradient across the potentiometer wire, is k volt/cm and the ammeter, present in the circuit, reads 1.0A when two way key is switched off. The balance points, when the key between the terminals (i) 1 and 2 (ii) 1and 3, is plugged in, are found to be at lengths $l_{1}cm and l_{2}cm$ respectively.The magnitudes, of the resistors R and X, in ohm, are then, equal, respectively, to
