(c) Given elastic energies are equal i.e., $\frac{1}{2}{k_1}x_1^2 = \frac{1}{2}{k_2}x_2^2$
$ \Rightarrow \frac{{{k_1}}}{{{k_2}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{x_2}}}{{{x_1}}}} \right)^2}$ and using $F = kx$

$ \Rightarrow \frac{{{F_1}}}{{{F_2}}} = \frac{{{k_1}{x_1}}}{{{k_2}{x_2}}} = \frac{{{k_1}}}{{{k_2}}} \times \sqrt {\frac{{{k_2}}}{{{k_1}}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{{k_1}}}{{{k_2}}}} $
