The correct answer is: $\frac{1}{4}$
We know,
$X_L=\omega L$ ....(i)
$\Rightarrow X_L \propto \omega$
Similarly,
$\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{C}}=\frac{1}{\omega}$
Given $X_L^1=2 X_L$ $\ldots .(\because \omega=2 \omega)$
$X_C^1=\frac{X_c}{2}$
$\therefore \quad \frac{\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{C}}^1}{\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{L}}^1}=\frac{\frac{\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{C}}}{2}}{2 \mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{L}}}=\frac{1}{4}$
....(from (i))
