A body of mass \( (2M) \) splits into four masses \( (m, \, M - m, \, m, \, M - m) \), which are rearranged to form a square as shown in the figure. The ratio of \( \dfrac{M}{m} \) for which, the gravitational potential energy of the system becomes maximum is \( x : 1 \). The value of \( x \) is ______.
