In an experiment to measure the internal resistance of a cell by a potentiometer,it is found that the balance point is at a length of $2\,m$ when the cell is shunted by a $5\,\Omega$ resistance; and is at a length of $3\,m$ when the cell is shunted by a $10\,\Omega$ resistance. The internal resistance of the cell is,then ................ $\Omega$.

  • A
    $1.5$
  • B
    $10$
  • C
    $15$
  • D
    $1$
