The balancing length for a cell is $560 \; cm$ in a potentiometer experiment. When an external resistance of $10 \; \Omega$ is connected in parallel to the cell,the balancing length changes by $60 \; cm$. If the internal resistance of the cell is $\frac{N}{10} \; \Omega$,where $N$ is an integer,then the value of $N$ is:

  • A
    $12$
  • B
    $10$
  • C
    $8$
  • D
    $14$
