Kirchhoff's Laws & Measuring Instruments

In a circuit for finding the resistance of a galvanometer by half deflection method, a 6 V battery and a high resistance of 11 kΩ\Omega are used. The figure of merit of the galvanometer is 60 μA/\mu A/division. In the absence of shunt resistance, the galvanometer produces a deflection of θ\theta = 9 divisions when current flows in the circuit. The value of the shunt resistance that can cause the deflection of θ/2,\theta/2, is closest to:
