$A$ particle of mass $m$ starts from rest at a distance $R$ from the centre and along the axis of a fixed ring of radius $R$ and mass $M$. Its velocity at the centre of the ring is:

  • A
    $\sqrt {\frac{{\sqrt 2 GM}}{R}} $
  • B
    $\sqrt {\frac{{2GM}}{R}} $
  • C
    $\sqrt {\left( {1 - \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}} \right)\frac{{GM}}{R}} $
  • D
    $\sqrt {2\left( {1 - \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}} \right)\frac{{GM}}{R}} $

The gravitational force acting on a particle,due to a solid sphere of uniform density and radius $R$,at a distance of $3 R$ from the centre of the sphere is $F_1$. $A$ spherical hole of radius $(R / 2)$ is now made in the sphere as shown in the figure. The sphere with hole now exerts a force $F_2$ on the same particle. The ratio of $F_1$ and $F_2$ is
