Numerical -Smallest resistance variation for given input of Wheatstone bridge

Q.  A highly sensitive galvanometer is used in Wheatstone bridge and it can detect a current as low as 80 pA. The resistances of each arm of bridge are 800 ohm and the resistance of galvanometer is 40 ohm. If an input of 20 V is applied to the bridge then the smallest change in resistance which can be detected is
