Detailed Solution

The velocity of an oscillating body is maximum when it is at the equilibrium position where the potential energy is zero and the energy is entirely kinetic. At the extreme positions, the kinetic energy is zero and the energy is entirely potential. Therefore, the kinetic energy at equilibrium position = potential energy at extreme positions = total energy. Since the maximum velocities (i.e., velocities at equilibrium position) are equal for the two equal masses, their kinetic energies are also equal = their potential energies at extreme positions where the displacement is maximum = amplitude. If x1 and x2 are amplitudes of bodies A and B, we have
12k1x12=12k2x22
or x1x2=k2k1
