The gravitational field in a region is given by $\vec{E} = (5\,N/kg)\,\hat{i} + (12\,N/kg)\,\hat{j}$. If the potential at the origin is taken to be zero,then the ratio of the potential at the points $(12\,m, 0)$ and $(0, 5\,m)$ is:

  • A
    Zero
  • B
    $1$
  • C
    $\frac{144}{25}$
  • D
    $\frac{25}{144}$
