Two wires \({W}_1\) and \({W}_2\) have the same radius \({r}\) and respective densities \(\rho_1\) and \(\rho_2\) such that \(\rho_2=4\rho_1.\) They are joined together at the point \(O,\) as shown in the figure. The combination is used as a sonometer wire and kept under tension \(T.\) The point \(O\) is midway between the two bridges. When a stationary wave is set up in the composite wire, the joint is found to be a node. The ratio of the number of antinodes formed in \(W_1\) to \({W}_2\) is:

1. \(4:1\)
2. \(1:1\)
3. \(1:2\)
3. \(1:3\)
