    Two satellites S1S_{1} and S2S_{2} are revolving in circular orbits around a planet with radius R1=3200 kmR_{1}= 3200\text{ }km and R2=800 kmR_{2}= 800\text{ }km respectively. The ratio of speed of satellite S1S_{1} to the speed of satellite S2S_{2} in their respective orbits would be 1x\frac{1}{x} where x=x =
