The correct answer is: 2 - 1
Time taken for the level to fall from H to H'        

t = A A 0 2 g H - H

According to problem the time taken for the level to fall from h to h 2

t 1 = A A 0 2 g [ h - h 2 ]

and similarly time taken for the level to fall from h 2

t 2 = A A 0 2 g [ h 2 - 0 ]

t 1 t 2 = 1 - 1 2 1 2 - 0 = 2 - 1
