Detailed Solution

torque equation about the point R
$T_{1} x = T_{2} (L - x)$

$and, \frac{1}{2 l} \sqrt{\frac{T_{1}}{μ}} = \frac{2}{2 l} \sqrt{\frac{T_{2}}{μ}}$

$\Rightarrow T_{1} = 4 T_{2}$

$∴ 4 T_{2} x = T_{2} (L - x)$

$\Rightarrow 4 x = L - x \Rightarrow 5 x = L \Rightarrow x = \frac{L}{5}$
