$A$ potentiometer has a uniform potential gradient across it. Two cells connected in series $(i)$ to support each other and $(ii)$ to oppose each other are balanced over $6 \ m$ and $2 \ m$ respectively on the potentiometer wire. The ratio of the $e.m.f.$s of the cells is:

  • A
    $1:2$
  • B
    $1:1$
  • C
    $3:1$
  • D
    $2:1$
