In a metre bridge experiment null point is obtained at 40 cm from one end of the wire when resistance $\mathbf { X }$ is balanced against another resistance Y . If $\mathrm { X } < \mathrm { Y }$, then the new position of the null point from the same end, if one decides to balance a resistance of 3 X against Y , will be close to :\\
(1) 80 cm\\
(2) 75 cm\\
(3) 67 cm\\
(4) 50 cm
