Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 2:1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\omega_h = \frac{2\pi}{T_h} = \frac{2\pi}{12 \text{ hr}}\) \(\omega_e = \frac{2\pi}{T_e} = \frac{2\pi}{24 \text{ hr}}\) \(\frac{\omega_h}{\omega_e} = \frac{2\pi/12}{2\pi/24} = \frac{24}{12} = 2:1\)
