A potentiometer circuit has been set up for finding the internal resistance of a given cell. The main battery, used across the potentiometer wire, has an emf of $2.0\,V$ and a negligible internal resistance. The potentiometer wire itself is $4\,m$ long. When the resistance $R,$ connected across the given cell, has values of  $(i)$ infinity $(ii)$ $9.5\,\Omega$ the balancing lengths on the potentiometer wire are found to be $3\,m$ and $2.85\,m,$ respectively. The value of internal resistance of the cell is ............... $\Omega$
  • A$0.5$
  • B$0.25$
  • C$0.75$
  • D$0.95$
