Centre of one circle will be at point A which is

intersection point of line \mathrm{y=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}(x+1)}  and  \mathrm{x^2+y^2=1}

solving we get A \equiv\left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) \Rightarrow r_1=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

Centre of 2^{\text {nd }}  circle will be at point B which is intersection point of line \mathrm{y=-\sqrt{3}(x+1) \text{ and }x^2+y^2=1}

solving we get B \mathrm{ \equiv\left(-\frac{1}{2},-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) \Rightarrow r_2=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} ~ therefore ~ \frac{r_1}{r_2}=1}
