    Two coils A and B have 180 and 360 turns respectively. The current of 1A flows through both the coils. Due to current of 1A in coil A, flux per turn of 0.8×10−30.8 \times 10^{-3} Wb is linked with coil A. Due to current of 1A in coil B, flux per turn of 1×10−31 \times 10^{-3} Wb is linked with coil B. The self inductance of coil A is LAL_A and the self inductance of coil B is LBL_B. The ratio LAL_A to LBL_B is
