The magnetic field inside a long solenoid is

A long solenoid contains another coaxial solenoid whose radius is half of its own. Their coils have the same number of turns per unit length and initially both carry no current. At the same instant current start increasing linearly with time in both solenoid. At any moment the current flowing in the inner coil is twice as large as that in the outer one and their directions are the same. The ratio of the magnetic field at to is :
