Solution

The correct answer is C. Statement-I is true and Statement-II is true. Statement-II is not the correct explanation of Statement-I.

Explanation:

Statement-I: Higher the range, greater is the resistance of ammeter. This statement is true. The resistance of an ammeter is inversely proportional to its range. Therefore, if the range is higher, the resistance is greater.

Statement-II: To increase the range of ammeter, additional shunt needs to be used across it. This statement is also true. A shunt is a device which allows electric current to pass around another point in the circuit. By using an additional shunt, more current can pass around the ammeter, thus increasing its range.

However, Statement-II is not the correct explanation of Statement-I. The use of a shunt to increase the range of an ammeter does not directly relate to the resistance of the ammeter. Therefore, while both statements are true, they are not directly related to each other.
