Two rigid bodies $A$ and $B$ rotate with rotational kinetic energies $E_A$ and $E_B$ respectively. The moments of inertia of $A$ and $B$ about the axis of rotation are $I_A$ and $I_B$ respectively. If $I_A = I_B/4$ and $E_A = 100 E_B$,the ratio of angular momentum $(L_A)$ of $A$ to the angular momentum $(L_B)$ of $B$ is
