The densities of two solid spheres $A$ and $B$ of the same radii $R$ vary with radial distance $r$ as $\rho_A(r) = k \left(\frac{r}{R}\right)$ and $\rho_B(r) = k \left(\frac{r}{R}\right)^5$,respectively,where $k$ is a constant. The moments of inertia of the individual spheres about axes passing through their centres are $I_A$ and $I_B$,respectively. If $\frac{I_B}{I_A} = \frac{n}{10}$,the value of $n$ is
