Writing down the mesh equations for the four meshes and solving, we see that the currents in the said branches do not depend on time .
(The 2nd. mesh current being i 2 and the 4th. mesh current being i 4 , the two mesh equations are
i 2 − i 4 = 2 3 = 1 . 5 , 2 i 4 − i 2 = 3 . Solving we get i 2 = 6 , i 4 = 4 . 5 ⟹ I B C = i 4 = 4 . 5 , I G D = i 2 − i 4 = 6 − 4 . 5 = 1 . 5 ).
We simply get the values of the currents as
I B C = 4 . 5 , I G D = 1 . 5 amps, and the ratio as
1 . 5 4 . 5 = 3 .

Since the time constant of the circuit is on the order of microseconds, the capacitors behave like open circuits. The rest is easy
