The gravitational field in a region is given by $\vec{E} = (5\,N/kg)\,\hat{i} + (12\,N/kg)\,\hat{j}$. If the potential at the origin is taken to be zero,then the ratio of the potential at the points $(12\,m, 0)$ and $(0, 5\,m)$ is:

The density of a solid sphere of radius $R$ is $\rho(r) = 20 \frac{r^2}{R^2}$,where $r$ is the distance from its centre. If the gravitational field due to this sphere at a distance $4R$ from its centre is $E$ and $G$ is the gravitational constant,then the ratio of $\frac{E}{GR}$ is
