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