In a potentiometer experiment, a cell of emf $1.25 \,V$ gives a balancing length of $30 \,cm$. If the cell is replaced by another cell, the balancing length is found to be $40 \,cm$. What is the emf of the second cell?

  • A
    $ \simeq 1.57 \,V $
  • B
    $ \simeq 1.67 \,V $
  • C
    $ \simeq 1.47 \,V $
  • D
    $ \simeq 1.37 \,V $
