  • A
    ${I_1} > {I_2}$
  • B
    ${I_1} < {I_2}$
  • C
    ${I_1} = {I_2}$

The gravitational field in a region is given by $\vec{E} = (5\,N/kg)\,\hat{i} + (12\,N/kg)\,\hat{j}$. If the potential at the origin is taken to be zero,then the ratio of the potential at the points $(12\,m, 0)$ and $(0, 5\,m)$ is:
