Let CCC be the capacitance of a capacitor discharging through a resistor R. Suppose t1t_1t1​ is the time taken for the energy stored in the capacitor to reduce to half its initial value and t2t_2t2​ is the time taken for the charge to reduce to one-fourth its initial value. Then the ratio t1/t2t_1 / t_2t1​/t2​ will be
