When a potentiometer is connected between the points $A$ and $B$ as shown in the circuit,the balance point is obtained at $64 \ cm$. When it is connected between $A$ and $C$,the balance point is $8 \ cm$. If the potentiometer is connected between $B$ and $C$,the balance point will be: (in $cm$)

  • A
    $8$
  • B
    $56$
  • C
    $64$
  • D
    $72$
