A

$1:1$

B

$2:1$

C

$4:1$

D

$8:1$

Two bodies of masses $2m$ and $m$ have their K.E. in the ratio $8 : 1$, then their ratio of momenta is

$p = \sqrt {2mE} $
$\frac{{{p_1}}}{{{p_2}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{{m_1}}}{{{m_2}}}\frac{{{E_1}}}{{{E_2}}}} = \sqrt {\frac{2}{1} \times \frac{8}{1}} = \frac{4}{1}$
