The figure shows the variation of capacitive reactance $\displaystyle \left(\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{C}}\right)$ of two ideal capacitors of capacitances $\displaystyle \mathrm{C}_{1}$ & $\displaystyle \mathrm{C}_{2}$ with the reciprocal of angular frequency $\displaystyle (1 / \omega)$ of ac source. The value of $\displaystyle \mathrm{C}_{1} / \mathrm{C}_{2}$ is
