Three circles A, B and C have a common centre O. A is the inner circle, B is the middle circle, and C is the outer circle. P is a point on the outer circle C, and the radius OP cuts the inner circle at X and the middle circle at Y, such that \(OX = XY = YP\). The ratio of the area of the region between the inner and middle circles to the area of the region between the middle and outer circles is:
