A point source emits sound equally in all directions in a non-absorbing medium. Two points $P$ and $Q$ are at a distance of $9$ meters and $25$ meters respectively from the source. The ratio of the amplitudes of the waves at $P$ and $Q$ is

  • A

    $5:3$

  • B

    $3:5$

  • C

    $25:9$

  • D

    $625:81$
