Two spheres $P$ and $Q$,each of mass $200 \text{ g}$,are attached to a string of length $1 \text{ m}$ as shown in the figure. The string and the spheres are then whirled in a horizontal circle about $O$ at a constant angular speed. The ratio of the tension in the string between $P$ and $Q$ to that between $P$ and $O$ is (where $P$ is at the mid-point of the line joining $O$ and $Q$).

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{2}{1}$
