Two uniform wires of same material are vibrating under the same tension. If the $1^{\text{st}}$ overtone of the $1^{\text{st}}$ wire is equal to the $2^{\text{nd}}$ overtone of the $2^{\text{nd}}$ wire and the radius of the $1^{\text{st}}$ wire is twice the radius of the $2^{\text{nd}}$ wire,find the ratio of the length of the $1^{\text{st}}$ wire to that of the $2^{\text{nd}}$ wire.

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