Two cells of internal resistance $r_{1}$ and $r_{2}$ and of the same emf are connected in series across a resistor of resistance $R$. If the terminal potential difference across the cell of internal resistance $r_{1}$ is zero,then the value of $R$ is

  • A
    $R=2r_{1}+r_{2}$
  • B
    $R=r_{2}-r_{1}$
  • C
    $R=r_{1}-r_{2}$
  • D
    $R=2r_{1}-r_{2}$
