A

$4:1$

B

$\sqrt 2 :1$

C

$1:2$

D

$1:16$

Two masses of $1 \,gm$ and $4 \,gm$ are moving with equal kinetic energies. The ratio of the magnitudes of their linear momenta is

$P = \sqrt {2mE} .$ If $E$ are same then $P \propto \sqrt m $
$⇒$ $\frac{{{P_1}}}{{{P_2}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{{m_1}}}{{{m_2}}}} = \sqrt {\frac{1}{4}} = \frac{1}{2}$
