Question

In a galvanometer there is deflection of 10 divisions per mA.Thje internal resistance of the galvanometer is 60 ohm.If a shunt of 2.5 ohm is connected to the galvanometer and there are 50 divisions in all,on the scale of galvanometer,what maximum current can this galvanometer read?

MY DOUBT IS:(If wrong plz correct it and explain) Since there are 50 divisions in all in the galvanometer,then maximum current that galvanometer would read is Ig=50*1/10=5 mA .But the answer is given 125 mA.How?
