Welcome to Using English, Taimoor. Neither one is correct I'm afraid.

The cities of Berlin and Munich.

[Taimoor Talpur]

The cities of Berlin and Munich.

I didn't want to go technical that is why I asked an analogous question; but now I think I need to be more precise. The actual question I need to get an answer is
1. The marginal and the chief ray
or should it be
2. The marginal and the chief rays

I am afraid, the rays of marginal and chief do not sound correct to me.

I'm afraid I don't understand what marginal and chief rays are.

[SoothingDave]

Yes, use "rays." There are two of them.

Neither did I, but this site tells us - and also shows us how the words are used, Taimoor,

Many thanks, bahisahab and soothingdave. I appreciate your support and consideration. Have a nice evening :)

Using the names of cities is not exactly analogous, which is why the suggested rewrite didn't work. City names don't behave the same way as your examples- they very rarely use the definite article, for instance, so you were not substituting like with like.
