$A$ radioactive nucleus $A$ has a single decay mode with half-life $\tau_A$. Another radioactive nucleus $B$ has two decay modes $1$ and $2$. If decay mode $2$ were absent,the half-life of $B$ would have been $\tau_A / 2$. If decay mode $1$ were absent,the half-life of $B$ would have been $3 \tau_A$. If the actual half-life of $B$ is $\tau_B$,then the ratio $\tau_B / \tau_A$ is
