Two spherical conductors of capacities $3 \mu F$ and $2 \mu F$ are charged to the same potential,having radii $3 \ cm$ and $2 \ cm$ respectively. If $\sigma_1$ and $\sigma_2$ represent the surface charge density on the respective conductors,then $\frac{\sigma_1}{\sigma_2}$ is:

$A$ cylindrical capacitor has inner and outer conductors whose radii are in the ratio $10:1$. The inner conductor is replaced by a wire whose radius is half of the original inner conductor. To obtain the same capacitance as the original capacitor,by what ratio should the length of the wire be increased?

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A:$ Two metallic spheres are charged to the same potential. One of them is hollow and another is solid,and both have the same radii. The solid sphere will have a lower charge than the hollow one.
Reason $R:$ Capacitance of metallic spheres depends on the radii of the spheres.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below.
