Let potential gradient be λ. $\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \mathrm{i} \times 10=\lambda \times 500=\varepsilon-\mathrm{ir}{\mathrm{s}} \
& \Rightarrow 500 \lambda=\varepsilon-50 \lambda \mathrm{r}{\mathrm{s}}
\end{aligned}$
Also, $\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{i}^{\prime} \times 1=\lambda \times 400=\varepsilon-\mathrm{i}^{\prime} \mathrm{r}{\mathrm{s}} \
& \Rightarrow 400 \lambda=\varepsilon-400 \lambda \mathrm{r}5 \
& \therefore 100 \lambda=350 \lambda \mathrm{r}{\mathrm{s}} \Rightarrow \mathrm{r}{\mathrm{s}}=\frac{10}{35} \approx 0.3 \Omega
\end{aligned}$
