As we learnt in

Moving coil galvanometer -

It is a very sensitive instrument used to measure the small current.Galvanometer gives the deflection which is proportional to electric current flowing through it.

-

 

\frac{S}{S+G}=\frac{I_{g}}{I}\Rightarrow S=\frac{I_{g}G}{I-I_{g}}

\therefore \; \; \; S=\frac{1\times 0.81}{10-1}=\frac{0.81}{9}=0.09\, \Omega \; in\; parallel.
