Solution

The correct option is A $1$
Velocity Ratio (sometimes called movement ratio)- is defined as the ratio of the distance moved by the effort to the distance moved by the load.
$V e l o c i t y R a t i o = \frac{D i s t a n c e m o v e d b y t h e e f f o r t}{D i s t a n c e m o v e d b y t h e l o a d}$
$\Rightarrow 1$
