As, $\begin{aligned} \mathrm{R}_n & =0.529 \frac{n^2}{\mathrm{Z}} \ 	ext { Hence, } \quad \frac{\mathrm{R}_1}{\mathrm{R}_2} & =\frac{0.529 \frac{n_1^2}{\mathrm{Z}}}{0.529 \frac{n_2^2}{\mathrm{Z}}} \ \frac{\mathrm{R}_1}{\mathrm{R}_2} & =\frac{n_1^2}{n_2^2}=\frac{(2)^2}{(4)^2} \ 	herefore \quad \frac{\mathrm{R}_1}{\mathrm{R}_2} & =\frac{1}{4}=0.25 \end{aligned}$ (where, the symbols have their usual meanings)
