In a potentiometer experiment, when three cells A, B and C are connected in series the balancing length is found to be 740 cm. If A and B are connected in series balancing length is 440 cm and for B and C connected in series that is 540 cm. Then the emf of E_A, E_B and E_c are espectively (in volts)

• 1, 2 and 3

• 1.5, 2 and 3

• 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5
