An $a.c.$ source of angular frequency $\omega$ is connected across a resistor $R$ and a capacitor $C$ in series. The current registered is $I$. If the frequency of the source is changed to $\frac{\omega}{3}$ (while maintaining the same voltage),the current in the circuit is found to be halved. The ratio of reactance to resistance at the original frequency $\omega$ is:

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{1}{5}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{4}{5}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{3}{5}}$
