(D) According to Torricelli's law, the velocity of efflux $v$ at a depth $h$ is given by $v = \sqrt{2gh}$. Since both tanks have holes at the same depth $h$, the velocity of efflux for both liquids is the same: $v_1 = v_2 = \sqrt{2gh}$.The mass flux (mass per unit time) is given by $\dot{m} = \rho A v$, where $\rho$ is the density, $A$ is the area of the hole, and $v$ is the velocity of efflux.For tank $A$: $\dot{m}_A = \rho_A A_A v_A$.For tank $B$: $\dot{m}_B = \rho_B A_B v_B$.Given that the mass flux is equal, $\dot{m}_A = \dot{m}_B$, and $A_B = 2A_A$:$\rho_A A_A v = \rho_B (2A_A) v$.Canceling $A_A$ and $v$ from both sides:$\rho_A = 2 \rho_B$.Therefore, the ratio of the densities $\frac{\rho_A}{\rho_B} = \frac{2}{1} = 2$. Wait, re-evaluating the provided options: If the mass flux is equal, $\rho_A A_A v = \rho_B A_B v$. Since $A_B = 2A_A$, then $\rho_A A_A = \rho_B (2A_A)$, which implies $\rho_A = 2\rho_B$, so $\frac{\rho_A}{\rho_B} = 2$. Given the options provided, there might be a misunderstanding of the question's intent or a typo in the options. However, following the logic strictly, the ratio is $2$. If the question implies $\frac{\rho_B}{\rho_A}$, the answer is $\frac{1}{2}$.
