Answer #1

Relay of resistance 6 ohm operates with a current of 0.03 A.

Hence, voltage across the relay is

Now to increase the current to 0.24 A let us add a shunt of resistance R in parallel to the relay.

As the shunt is connected in parallel equivalent resistance is

So, current in the circuit is,

This is the resistance that must be used.
