Two uniform stretched steel strings $A$ and $B$ are vibrating under the same tension. The first overtone of $A$ is equal to the second overtone of $B$. If the radius of $A$ is twice that of $B$,then the ratio of the lengths of the strings $l_A/l_B$ is:

  • A
    $1/3$
  • B
    $1/2$
  • C
    $2/3$
  • D
    $3/4$
