$A$ cell of emf $E$ is connected to a resistance $R_{1}$ for time $t$ and the amount of heat generated in it is $H$. If the resistance $R_{1}$ is replaced by another resistance $R_{2}$ and is connected to the cell for the same time $t$, the amount of heat generated in $R_{2}$ is $4H$. Then the internal resistance $r$ of the cell is:

  • A
    $\frac{2 R_{1}+R_{2}}{2}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{R_{1} R_{2}} \frac{2 \sqrt{R_{2}}-\sqrt{R_{1}}}{\sqrt{R_{2}}-2 \sqrt{R_{1}}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{R_{1} R_{2}} \frac{\sqrt{R_{2}}-2 \sqrt{R_{1}}}{2 \sqrt{R_{2}}-\sqrt{R_{1}}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{R_{1} R_{2}} \frac{\sqrt{R_{2}}-\sqrt{R_{1}}}{\sqrt{R_{2}}+\sqrt{R_{1}}}$
