Two identical balls having like charges $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ are placed at a certain distance $r$ apart and repel each other with a force $F_1$. They are brought into contact and then moved apart to a distance equal to half their initial separation $(r/2)$. The force of repulsion between them increases $4.5$ times in comparison with the initial value. The ratio of the initial charges of the balls is

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $4$
  • D
    $6$
