$\mu N_{1}+N_{2}=m g...(i)$
In horizontal directions,
$N_{1}=\mu N_{2}$ $...(ii)$
Solving, Eqs.$(i)$ and $(ii),$ $N_{2}=\frac{m g}{1+\mu^{2}}$
The required friction is
$\mu N_{2}=f_{a}=\frac{3}{10} m g$
Now in case of figure $b,$ we see that the sphere has the tendency to move towards the right and thus there would be no interaction between the sphere and the vertical surface. Thus the normal reaction in the horizontal direction would be zero. Thus we get
$N_{1}=0 ; N_{2}=m g$
$f_{b}=\mu N_{2}=\frac{m g}{3}$
which gives $\frac{f_{a}}{f_{b}}=\frac{9}{10}$
