A frustum is cut from a right circular cone. The two circular faces have radii Rand 2R and their centers are at O1 and O2 respectively. Height of the frustum is h=3R. When a point charge Q is placed at O1, the flux of electric field through the circular face of radius 2R is ϕ1and when the charge Q is placed at O2 , the flux through the other circular face is ϕ2.The ratio of ϕ1ϕ2 is found to be 13-310-3ab. The value of (a+b) is
