(a)

From $\frac{F L}{A Y}=\Delta x$ $\{\because \Delta x, Y$ same $\}$

We using $F \propto \frac{L}{A} \propto \frac{L}{r^2}$

So $\frac{F_1}{F_2}=\frac{L_1}{r_1^2} \times \frac{r_2^2}{L_2}=\left(\frac{L_1}{L_2}\right) \times\left(\frac{r_2}{r_1}\right)^2$

Substitute the ratio's

We get $\frac{F_1}{F_2}=\frac{1}{1} \quad$ or $F_1: F_2:: 1: 1$
