In a potentiometer experiment,cells of e.m.f. $E_{1}$ and $E_{2}$ are connected in series $(E_{1} > E_{2})$,and the balancing length is $64 \ cm$. If the polarity of $E_{2}$ is reversed,the balancing length becomes $32 \ cm$. The ratio $\frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}}$ is:

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