$A$ metal sphere of radius $R$,density $\rho_1$ moves with terminal velocity $V_1$ through a liquid of density $\sigma$. Another sphere of same radius but density $\rho_2$ moves through the same liquid. Its terminal velocity is $V_2$. The ratio $V_1: V_2$ is

  • A
    $(\rho_1 - \sigma) : (\rho_2 - \sigma)$
  • B
    $(\rho_2 - \sigma) : (\rho_1 - \sigma)$
  • C
    $(\rho_1 + \sigma) : (\rho_2 + \sigma)$
  • D
    $(\rho_2 + \sigma) : (\rho_1 + \sigma)$
