We know,

\mathrm{R_f=\frac{\text { Distance moved by the substance from base line }}{\text { Distance moved by the solvent from base line }}}

So,

\mathrm{R_f_A=\frac{2.08}{3.25} \text { and } R_{f_B}=\frac{1.05}{3.25}}

Then ratio of \mathrm{R_{f}} values of A to B is

\mathrm{\frac{R_f_A}{R_{f_B}}=\frac{2.08 / 3.25}{1.05 / 3.25}=2}

Answer = 2
