There are a large number of cells available, each marked $(6 \,V , 0.5 \,\Omega)$ to be used to supply current to a device of resistance $0.75 \,\Omega$, requiring $24 \,A$ current. How should the cells be arranged, so that power is transmitted to the load using minimum number of cells?
  • A
    Six rows, each containing four cells
  • B
    Four rows, each containing six cells
  • C
    Four rows, each containing four cells
  • D
