When a resistance of 2Ω is connected across the terminals of a cell, the current is 0.5 A. When resistance is increased to 5Ω, the current is 0.25 A.

The emf of the cell is V= it, v= .5*(r+2)= (1/2)*(r+2), when resistance is increased to 5, then v= .25*(r+5)= (1/4)*(r+5), from above equations, (1/2)*(r+2)= (1/4)*(r+5), 2r+4= r+5, r= 1 ohm
