A vessel is partitioned in two equal halves by a fixed diathermic separator. Two different ideal gases are filled in left ( L ) and right ( R ) halves. The rms speed of the molecules in L part is equal to the mean speed of molecules in the R part. Then the ratio of the mass of a molecule in L part to that of a molecule in R part is
