The ratio of the radii of gyration of a circular disc about a tangential axis in the plane of the disc and of a circular ring of the same radius about a tangential axis in the plane of the ring is

Let $M$ be the mass and $L$ be the length of a thin uniform rod. In the first case,the axis of rotation passes through the center and is perpendicular to the length of the rod. In the second case,the axis of rotation passes through one end and is perpendicular to the length of the rod. The ratio of the radius of gyration in the first case to the second case is

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: Moment of inertia of a circular disc of mass $M$ and radius $R$ about $X, Y$ axes (passing through its plane) and $Z$-axis which is perpendicular to its plane were found to be $I_{x}, I_{y}$ and $I_{z}$ respectively. The respective radii of gyration about all the three axes will be the same.
Reason $R$: $A$ rigid body making rotational motion has fixed mass and shape.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Two solid spheres $A$ and $B$ each of radius $R$ are made of materials of densities $\rho_A$ and $\rho_B$ respectively. Their moments of inertia about a diameter are $I_A$ and $I_B$ respectively. The value of $\frac{I_A}{I_B}$ is
