In a potentiometer experiment two cells of $e.m.f.$ $E_1$ and $E_2$ are used in series and in conjunction and the balancing length is found to be $58\, cm$ of the wire. If the polarity of $E_2$ is reversed, then the balancing length becomes $29\, cm$. The ratio $\frac{{{E_1}}}{{{E_2}}}$ of the $e.m.f.$ of the two cells is

(c) $\frac{{{E_1}}}{{{E_2}}} = \frac{{{l_1} + {l_2}}}{{{l_1} - {l_2}}} = \frac{{58 + 29}}{{58 - 29}} = \frac{3}{1}$
