Two cells, having the same e.m.f. are connected in series through an external resistance R. Cells have internal resistances r₁ and r₂ (r₁ > r₂) respectively. When the circuit is closed, the potential difference across the first cell is zero. The value of R is

Options

(a) r₁ + r₂
(b) r₁ – r₂
(c) r₁ + r₂/2
(d) r₁ – r₂/2
