Two wires W1 and W2 have the same radius r and respective densities 1 and 2 such that ρ2 = 4 1 . They are joined together at the point O, as shown in the figure. The combination is used as a sonometer wire and kept under tension T. The point O is midway between the two bridges. When a stationary wave is set up in the composite wire, the joint is found to be a node. The ratio of the number of antinodes formed in W1 to W2 is : 

- A1 : 1
- B1 : 2
- C1 : 3
- D4 : 1
