Considering Case 2 and case 1, one by one

and using I=\frac{GM}{R^2} \ \ \ \ (\text{Gravitational field on surface of sphere})

R-Radius of sphere

                                                            \\ 3=\frac{\mathrm{Gm}_{2}}{2^{2}} \\ \\ 2=\frac{\mathrm{Gm}_{1}}{1^{2}} \\ \\ \therefore \frac{3}{2}=\frac{1}{4} \frac{\mathrm{m}_{2}}{\mathrm{m}_{1}} \\ \\ \frac{\mathrm{m}_{1}}{\mathrm{m}_{2}}=\frac{1}{6}

So the correct option is 2.
