The displacement of a particle moving in a straight line is given by \(𝑠 = 2 𝑡^2 + 2 𝑡 + 4\) where \(s\) is in meters and \(t\) in seconds. The acceleration of the particle is:

A body \(A\) starts from rest with an acceleration \(a_1\). After \(2\) seconds, another body B starts from rest with an acceleration \(a_2\). If they travel equal distances in the \(5^{th}\) second, after the start of \(A\), then the ratio \(a_1: a_2\) is equal to:
1. \(5: 9\)
2. \(5: 7\)
3. \(9: 5\)
4. \(9: 7\)
