The equivalent resistance between the points A and B in the following circuit is x5 . The value of x is . [figure]

A Wheatstone bridge is initially at room temperature and all arms of the bridge have same value of resistances (R1 = R2 = R3 = R4). When R3 resistance is heated to some temperature, its resistance value has gone up by 10%. The potential difference (Va - Vb) (after R3 is heated) is V. [figure]
