Two particles of equal mass $m$ are connected to a rope $AB$ of negligible mass such that one is at end $A$ and the other divides the length of the rope in the ratio $1:2$ from $B$. The rope is rotated about end $B$ in a horizontal plane. The ratio of the tension in the smaller part (between $B$ and the middle particle) to the tension in the larger part (between the two particles) is (ignore the effect of gravity).

  • A
    $4:3$
  • B
    $1:4$
  • C
    $1:2$
  • D
    $1:3$
