Two identical balls having like charges and placed at a certain distance apart repel each other with a certain force. They are brought in contact and then moved apart to distance equal to half their initial separation. The force of repulsion between them increases $4.5\,times$ in comparison with the initial value. The ratio of the initial charges of the balls is
