A magnet is suspended in the magnetic meridian with an untwisted wire. The upper end of wire is rotated through $180^o$ to deflect the magnet by $30^o$ from magnetic meridian. When this magnet is replaced by another magnet, the upper end of wire is rotated through $ 270^o$ to deflect the magnet $30^o$ from magnetic meridian. The ratio of magnetic moments of magnets is

  • A

    $1:5$

  • B

    $1:8$

  • C

    $5:8$

  • D

    $8:5$
