  1. A \(9: 16\)
  2. B \(3: 4\)
  3. C \(4: 3\)
  4. D \(16: 9\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(4: 3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \frac{r_1}{r_2}=\sqrt{\frac{M_2}{M_1}} \Rightarrow \frac{r_x}{r_y}=\sqrt{\frac{M_y}{M_x}}=\sqrt{\frac{64}{36}} \\ & =\frac{8}{6}=\frac{4}{3}\end{aligned}\)
