The density of a material $A$ is $1500 \ kg/m^3$ and that of another material $B$ is $2000 \ kg/m^3$. It is found that the heat capacity of $8$ volumes of $A$ is equal to the heat capacity of $12$ volumes of $B$. The ratio of specific heats of $A$ and $B$ will be

  • A
    $1 : 2$
  • B
    $3 : 1$
  • C
    $3 : 2$
  • D
    $2 : 1$
