Two bodies $M$ and $N $ of equal masses are suspended from two separate massless springs of force constants $k_1$ and $k_2$ respectively. If the two bodies oscillate vertically such that their maximum velocities are equal, the ratio of the amplitude $M$ to that of $N$ is
  • A$\frac{{{k_1}}}{{{k_2}}}$
  • B$\sqrt {\frac{{{k_1}}}{{{k_2}}}} $
  • C$\frac{{{k_2}}}{{{k_1}}}$
  • D$\sqrt {\frac{{{k_2}}}{{{k_1}}}} $
