A race track is constructed such that two arcs of radius 80 m at A and 40 m at B are joined by two stretches of straight tracks as in the figure. In a particular trial run, a driver traveled at a constant speed of 50 m/s for one complete lap. In this case, the ratio of the centripetal acceleration at A to that at B is
