A DC shunt motor takes an rated armature current of 50 A at its rated voltage of 240 V. Its armature circuit resistance is 0.2 Ω. If an external resistance of 1 Ω is inserted in series with the armature and field flux remains unchanged. The percentage increase or decrease in speed for half of the load torque is
