$A$ system consists of two types of gas molecules $A$ and $B$ having the same number density $2 \times 10^{25} \, /m^3$. The diameters of $A$ and $B$ are $10 \, \mathring{A}$ and $5 \, \mathring{A}$ respectively. They undergo collisions at room temperature. The ratio of the average distance covered by molecule $A$ to that of $B$ between two successive collisions is $..... \times 10^{-2}$.
