Kirchhoff's laws — practice question

Four resistors with resistances $R$, $2R$, $3R$ and $4R$ are arranged to make a network. As shown, a battery with negligible internal resistance and a voltmeter are connected to the resistor network. The voltmeter shows a reading of $2\,\text{V}$. Find the electromotive force (e.m.f.) of the battery.

  • A$2\,\text{V}$
  • B$4\,\text{V}$
  • C$6\,\text{V}$
  • D$10\,\text{V}$
