The magnetic field intensity depends upon the current flowing through the solenoid as well as the number of turns in the coil.
In X , length is 2 0 cm and current flowing is 1 A while, in Y , length is 4 0 cm and current flowing is 2 A. Moreover, the number of turns in both X and Y are same, i.e., constant here.
Now, if we consider the ratio of current flowing and length in X and Y , we find the ratio to be same, i.e., 4 0 2 = 2 0 1 .
Thus, the electric field strength as well as the magnetic field intensity in both X and Y is the same, so the ratio is 1 : 1
