A siren placed at a railway platform is emitting sound of frequency 5 kHz. A passenger sitting in a moving train A records a frequency of 5.5 kHz while the train approaches the siren. During his return journey in a different train B, he records a frequency of 6.0 kHz, while approaching the same siren. The ratio of the velocity of train B to that of train A is
