A potentiometer wire is $100\,\, cm$ long and a constant potential difference is maintained across it. Two cells are connected in series first to support one another and then in opposite direction. The balance points are obtained at $50\,\, cm$ and $10\,\, cm$ from the positive end of the wire in the two cases. The ratio of emf's is 
  • A$5:4$
  • B$3:4$
  • C$3:2$
  • D$5:1$
