Two unequal masses ' $\mathrm{A}$ ' and ' $\mathrm{B}$ ' moving along a straight line are brought to rest by equal retarding forces. If 'A' takes double the time taken by 'B' to come to rest and 'A' travels $\frac{2}{3} \mathrm{rd}$ of the distance covered by ' $\mathrm{B}$ ' before coming to rest, then the ratio of masses of ' $\mathrm{A}$ ' and ' $\mathrm{B}$ ' is _________ .
  1. $1: 6$
  2. $6: 1$
  3. $1: 12$
  4. $12: 1$
