Two identical bulbs are connected in parallel across an ideal source of emf $E$. The ammeter $A$ and voltmeter $V$ are ideal. If bulb $B_2$ gets fused,then

$R_1$ and $R_2$ are two resistors made of different materials. The temperature coefficient of resistance for $R_1$ is $\alpha$ and for $R_2$ is $-\beta$. If the resistance of the series combination of $R_1$ and $R_2$ does not change with temperature,then the ratio of the resistances of the two wires is:
