(a) While gaining speed on the road, the gear ratio should be more than 1.
That is, the driving gear should have more number of teeth than the driven gear. N
(b) While ascending a hill more torque is required; thus, the gear ratio should be less than 1.
That is, the driving gear should have less number of teeth than the driven gear.
