THE BRAINLIEST ANSWER!

We know that inertia increases with mass as well as decreases with decrease in the same.

We see here:

Body B has more mass than Body A hence has more inertia.

We know the relation between kg and kgf(unit to measure inertia),

1 kg = 1 kgf

Therefore the inertia of the given bodies will be as follows:

Inertia of body A = 10 kg = 10 kgf

Inertia of body B = 50 kg = 50 kgf

Ratio of their inertia, A:B = 10 : 50 = 1 : 5
