For the range of \mathrm{V_{1}=1} volt
\mathrm{i_{g}=\frac{V_{1}}{Q+R_{1}} \text { or } 10^{-3}=\frac{1}{50+R_{1}}}.
\mathrm{\text { or } R_{1}=1000-50 \, \Omega=950\, \Omega}

For the range of \mathrm{V_{2}=10 \mathrm{~V}}
\mathrm{i_{g}=\frac{V_{2}}{Q+R_{1}+R_{2}} \text { or } 10^{-3}=\frac{10}{50+950+R_{2}} }
\mathrm{\text { or } R_{2}=900\, \Omega=9\, \mathrm{k} \Omega}

For the range of \mathrm{V_{3}=100 \mathrm{~V}}
\mathrm{i_{g}=\frac{V_{3}}{Q+R_{1}+R_{2}+R_{3}} \Rightarrow 10^{-3}=\frac{100}{ 50+950+9000+R_{3}}}
\mathrm{\Rightarrow R_{3}=90,000 \, \Omega=90\, \mathrm{k} \Omega}
