A circle $C_{1}$ passes through the origin $O$ and has diameter $4$ on the positive $x$-axis. The line $y =2 x$ gives a chord $OA$ of a circle $C _{1}$. Let $C _{2}$ be the circle with $OA$ as a diameter. If the tangent to $C _{2}$ at the point $A$ meets the $x$-axis at $P$ and $y$-axis at $Q$, then $QA : AP$ is equal to.
