$A$ vertical spring-mass system has the same time period as a simple pendulum undergoing small oscillations. Now, both of them are placed in an elevator moving downwards with an acceleration $a = 5 \,m/s^2$. The ratio of the time period of the spring-mass system to the time period of the pendulum is (Assume, acceleration due to gravity, $g = 10 \,m/s^2$)
