Two resistors $2\,\Omega$ and $3\,\Omega$ are connected in the gaps of a bridge as shown in the figure. The null point is obtained with the contact of jockey at some point on wire $XY$ . When an unknown resistor is connected in parallel with $3\,\Omega$ resistor, the null point is shifted by $22.5\,\text{cm}$ towards $Y$ . The resistance of unknown resistor is _____ $\Omega$ .

A meter bridge wire from X to Y with two resistors of 2 ohm and 3 ohm in the two gaps above the wire, and a jockey contact connected to a point between them on the bridge wire.
