R total = V/ I

=> 5 V / 1mA
=> 5 K ohm

As we know that, [1 k ohm = 1000 ohm ]

So,

R multiplier = 5000 ohm - 100 ohm

=> 4900 ohm.

R = V - v/ig.
v = ig * Rg V = range voltage.

R = 5 - 1/1000 * 100 = 5 - .1 = 4.9/ig = 4.9 * 1000 = 4900ohm.

How is this calculated? Please explain.

Yes it's right, thanks @Suyash Dixit.

Rs = v/Im-Rm.
