The Wheatstone bridge is not suitable for measuring very low resistance because it is based on a ratio of two resistances, and the resolution of the bridge decreases as the ratio approaches 1. This means that the Wheatstone bridge is not accurate enough to measure very small changes in resistance.

II)Cr2+ is reducing agent as its configuration changes from d4 to d3, when it is oxidized to Cr3+ .The d3 configuration have a half-filled t2g level which is very stable. On the other hand, the reduction of Mn3+ to Mn2+ results in the half-filled (d5) configuration which has extra stability hence Mn3+ acts as oxidizing agent.
