The $\mathrm{MI}$ of ring 1 about a transverse tangent is $\mathrm{I}_1=2 \mathrm{MR}^2$
The $\mathrm{MI}$ of ring 2 about its diameter is
$
\mathrm{I}_2=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{MR}^2
$
Since, torque $\mathrm{T}=\tau=I \alpha$, to produce the same angular acceleration in both,
$
\begin{aligned}
\frac{\tau_1}{I_1} & =\frac{\tau_2}{I_2} \Rightarrow \frac{\tau_1}{\tau_2}=\frac{I_1}{I_2}=4 \\
\text { i.e., } \tau_1 & =4 \tau_2
\end{aligned}
$
$\therefore$ It will be possible to produce the same angular acceleration in both the rings only if
$
\tau_1=4 \tau_2
