Answer

$R = 9950\Omega$

Work Step by Step

resistance of ammeter is $50\Omega$. when potential difference is $5.0V$ and meter goes to full scale that means current is $500\mu A$. thus we have $ \Delta V = IR + I*50\Omega$ $5V = 500\mu A * (R+50\Omega)$ $R+ 50\Omega = 10000\Omega$ $R = 9950\Omega$
