The uncertainties in the velocities of particles $A$ and $B$ are $0.05 \, m/s$ and $0.02 \, m/s$,respectively. If the mass of particle $B$ is five times that of particle $A$,then the ratio of the uncertainties in their positions $\left( \frac{\Delta x_A}{\Delta x_B} \right)$ is equal to:

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $0.25$
  • C
    $4$
  • D
    $1$
