A compound gear train is composed of four gears: A, B, C, and D. Gear A has 120 teeth. Gear B has 12 teeth and shares a shaft with gear C, which has 24 teeth. Gear C is meshed with gear D, the output gear. Power is supplied at gear A with 200 ft. lb of torque and is traveling at 400 rpm. The necessary torque output for the system is 1600 ft. lb. What should the gear ratio of the system be?

• $\frac{1}{8}$

• $\frac{8}{1}$

• $\frac{1}{2}$

• $\frac{2}{1}$
