(a)/(a √(3) ) = (1)/( √(3) ) \ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ Ans.\ E\\\\(2a)/(a √(3) ) = (2)/( √(3) )=(2\cdot √(2) )/( √(3)\cdot √(2) )=(2 √(2) )/( √(6) ) \\eq (2 √(3) )/( √(6) ) \\\\ (a)/(2a ) = (1)/( 2 )

This is worth remembering:

In a 30-60-right triangle,
-- the side opposite the 30 is 1/2 the hypotenuse
-- the side opposite the 60 is (1/2 the hypotenuse) times (square root of 3).

====================================

I believe Choice-'E' is the only one you could make with the above rule.
