Two separate wires $A$ and $B$ are stretched by $2 \,mm$ and $4\, mm$ respectively, when they are subjected to a force of $2\, N$. Assume that both the wires are made up of same material and the radius of wire $B$ is 4 times that of the radius of wire $A$. The length of the wires $A$ and $B$ are in the ratio of $a : b$. Then $a / b$ can be expressed as $1 / x$ where $x$ is
