Solution

The ratio comes to $\sqrt{3}:\sqrt{5}$; the printed key marks this question 'None'.

Radius of gyration of a solid sphere: $K_S=\sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}R$ Radius of gyration of a hollow sphere: $K_H=\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}R$ $\Rightarrow \frac{K_S}{K_H}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{5}}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{5}}$ Answer key in the source: (None).
