  1. A \(1: 9\)
  2. B \(9 :1\)
  3. C \(3: 1\)
  4. D \(1 :3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(3: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d} \) \( \beta_1 = \frac{\lambda D}{d} \) \( \beta_2 = \frac{\lambda D}{3d} \) \( \frac{\beta_1}{\beta_2} = \frac{\lambda D / d}{\lambda D / (3d)} = \frac{3d}{d} = 3:1 \)
