    Current in the circuit

    =
    E + E
    =
    2E
    r1 + r2 + Rr1 + r2 + R

    P.D. across first cell = E – ir1
    = E -
    2E × r1
    = 0
    (r1 + r2) + R

    Now, E =
    2Er1
    = 0
    (r1 + r2) + R

    ⇒ E =
    2Er1
    ⇒ 2r1 = r1 + r2 + R
    (r1 + r2) + R

    ⇒ R = r1 - r2

    Correct Option: D
