$A$ charge $Q$ of mass $m$ revolves around a charge $q$ due to the electrostatic attraction between them. The time period of its motion can be given by the formula:

Two identical balls having like charges $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ are placed at a certain distance $r$ apart and repel each other with a force $F_1$. They are brought into contact and then moved apart to a distance equal to half their initial separation $(r/2)$. The force of repulsion between them increases $4.5$ times in comparison with the initial value. The ratio of the initial charges of the balls is
