Two cells of emfs $E_1$ and $E_2$ and internal resistances $r_1$ and $r_2$ ($E_2 > E_1$ and $r_2 > r_1$) respectively,are connected in parallel as shown in the figure. The equivalent emf of the combination is $E_{eq}$. Then

  • A
    $E_1 < E_{eq} < E_2$ and $E_{eq}$ is nearer $E_2$
  • B
    $E_{eq} > E_2$
  • C
    $E_{eq} < E_1$
  • D
    $E_1 < E_{eq} < E_2$ and $E_{eq}$ is nearer $E_1$
