According to voltmeter sensitivity(ohm/volt),

S=total voltmeter res./ full scale reading=Rm/Vfs.

or, Rm = S*Vfs = 20000*5 = 100,000 ohm.

Internal resistance is given by Sensivity (20,000) * scale deflection (5)
Which is 20,000 * 5 = 100,000 ohms

In 1volt resistance is 20000 Ω.
in 5volt =5 * 20000 = 100000 Ω.

The voltmeter have an internal resistance of 20,000 ohm/volt.
That is for 1 volt the resistance is 20,000 ohm.
Therefore,for 5 volt the resistance is = 5*20,000=1,00,000 ohm.

Thanks @Nedunchezhian.

For voltmeter operation very low current needed, hence it contains internal resistance in series, hence 5 resistors will be added and we will get 100000.

I = 1/(Ifsd).

Ifsd = Full scale deflection i.e. Sensitivity of the meter.

I = 1/20000 = 0.5 x 10^-4.

R = V/I.

R = 5/0.5 x 10^-4.

R = 100, 000 ohm.
