A retaining wall of height 8 m retains dry sand. In the initial state, the soil is loose and has a void ratio of 0.5,γd = 17.8 kN/m3 and φ = 300. Subsequently, the backfill is compacted to a state where void ratio is 0.4, γd=18.8 kN/m3 and φ = 350. The ratio of initial passive thrust to the final passive thrust, according to Rankine’s earth pressure theory, is
