$A$ wire of length $L$, diameter $d$, and density of material $\rho$ is under tension $T$ and has a fundamental frequency of vibration $n_A$. Another wire of length $2L$, diameter $3d$, and density of material $2\rho$ is vibrated under tension $2T$, and its fundamental frequency of vibration becomes $n_B$. The ratio $n_B : n_A$ is
