\begin{aligned} & I_g(G)=\left(250-I_g\right) 5 \\ & I_g=\frac{1250}{5+G} m A \end{aligned}

For Voltmeter,

\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{V}=\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{g}} R \\ & 25=\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{g}}(\mathrm{G}+1050) \end{aligned}

From equation (1), 

\begin{aligned} & 25=\frac{1250 \times 10^{-3}}{G+5}(G+1050) \\ & 20(\mathrm{G}+5)=\mathrm{G}+1050 \\ & 19 \mathrm{G}=1050-100 \\ & \mathrm{G}=\frac{950}{19}=50 \Omega \end{aligned}
