Two cells,when connected in series,are balanced on $8 \; m$ on a potentiometer. If the cells are connected such that the polarity of one of the cells is reversed,they balance on $2 \; m$. The ratio of the $e.m.f.$'s of the two cells is:

  • A
    $3:5$
  • B
    $5:3$
  • C
    $3:4$
  • D
    $4:3$
