The correct answer is: 22:1

The magnitude of magnetic field at the centre of loop is

B=Bcentre =μi2R           1

 

The magnitude of magnetic field at a point at a distance x from the centre along axis of loop is

Baxis =μiR22R2+x232 

B=μiR22232R3          2      (since x=R)

Dividing equation 1 by equation 2, we get

B1B2=22:1
