Solution

The correct option is C $\frac{R}{r}$
Angular velocity is given by, $ω = \frac{2 π}{T}$
Centripetal acceleration is given by, $a = ω^{2} r$

$\frac{a_{R}}{a_{r}} = \frac{ω_{R}^{2} \times R}{ω_{r}^{2} \times r} = \frac{T_{r}^{2}}{T_{R}^{2}} \times \frac{R}{r} = \frac{R}{r} [A s T_{r} = T_{R}]$
