$ \text { Let total energy }=\mathrm{E}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{KA}^2 $

$ \mathrm{U}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~K}\left(\frac{\mathrm{A}}{3}\right)^2=\frac{\mathrm{KA}^2}{2 \times 9}=\frac{\mathrm{E}}{9} $

$ \mathrm{KE}=\mathrm{E}-\frac{\mathrm{E}}{9}=\frac{8 \mathrm{E}}{9} $

$ \text { Ratio } \frac{\text { Total }}{\mathrm{KE}}=\frac{\mathrm{E}}{\frac{8 \mathrm{E}}{9}}=\frac{9}{8} $

$ \mathrm{x}=9$
