Detailed Solution

Let r be the radius of the ball of mass m and R be the radius of the ball with mass M.

Terminal velocity $\propto r^{2}$ . Therefore

$\frac{n v}{v} = \frac{R^{2}}{r^{2}} \Rightarrow \frac{R}{r} = n^{1 / 2}$

Now $\frac{M}{m} = \frac{\frac{4 π}{3} ρ R^{3}}{\frac{4 π}{3} ρ r^{3}} = \frac{R^{3}}{r^{3}} = {(\frac{R}{r})}^{3} = n^{3 / 2}$

So the correct choice is (3 ).
