$A$ planet of mass $M$ has two natural satellites with masses $m_1$ and $m_2$. The radii of their circular orbits are $R_1$ and $R_2$ respectively. Ignore the gravitational force between the satellites. Define $v_1, L_1, K_1$ and $T_1$ to be,respectively,the orbital speed,angular momentum,kinetic energy,and time period of revolution of satellite $1$; and $v_2, L_2, K_2$ and $T_2$ to be the corresponding quantities of satellite $2$. Given $m_1/m_2 = 2$ and $R_1/R_2 = 1/4$,match the ratios in List-$I$ to the numbers in List-$II$.
