- $\frac{\tau_2}{\tau_1}$
- $\frac{\tau_1}{\tau_2}$
- $\frac{\tau_1+ \tau_2}{\tau_1-\tau_2}$
- $\frac{\tau_1-\tau_2}{\tau_1+\tau_2}$

The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Torque $\tau = MB \sin \theta$
$\tau_1 =MB_1 \sin 90^\circ=MB_1$
$\tau_2 = MB_2 \sin 90^\circ = MB_2 $
or $ \frac{MB_1}{MB_2}=\frac{\tau_1}{\tau_2}$
$\therefore \frac{B_1}{B_2}=\frac{\tau_1}{\tau_2}$
$\tau_1 =MB_1 \sin 90^\circ=MB_1$
$\tau_2 = MB_2 \sin 90^\circ = MB_2 $
or $ \frac{MB_1}{MB_2}=\frac{\tau_1}{\tau_2}$
$\therefore \frac{B_1}{B_2}=\frac{\tau_1}{\tau_2}$
