Two bodies $M$ and $N $ of equal masses are suspended from two separate massless springs of force constants $k_1$ and $k_2$ respectively. If the two bodies oscillate vertically such that their maximum velocities are equal, the ratio of the amplitude $M$ to that of $N$ is

(d) Maximum velocity $ = a\omega = a\sqrt {\frac{k}{m}} $ 

Given that ${a_1}\sqrt {\frac{{{K_1}}}{m}} = {a_2}\sqrt {\frac{{{K_2}}}{m}} $

==> $\frac{{{a_1}}}{{{a_2}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{{K_2}}}{{{K_1}}}} $
