Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are connected by a light string passing over a smooth pulley. When set free,$m_1$ moves downwards by $3 \ m$ in $3 \ s$. The ratio of $\frac{m_1}{m_2}$ is $(g = 10 \ ms^{-2})$.

Two masses $M_{1}$ and $M_{2}$ are tied together at the two ends of a light inextensible string that passes over a frictionless pulley. When the mass $M_{2}$ is twice that of $M_{1}$,the acceleration of the system is $a_{1}$. When the mass $M_{2}$ is thrice that of $M_{1}$,the acceleration of the system is $a_{2}$. The ratio $\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}$ will be:
