The correct answer is: $\sqrt{2 \pi} \cdot \mathrm{R}$
The ratio of velocities of water is given by
$\begin{aligned}
& \frac{V_{A}}{V_{B}}=\sqrt{\frac{h}{4 h}}=\frac{1}{2} \\
\therefore & V_{B}=2 V_{A}
\end{aligned}$
Quantity of water flowing is same
$\begin{aligned}
\therefore \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{A}} \times \mathrm{L}^{2} &=\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{B}} \times \pi \mathrm{R}^{2} \\
\therefore \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{A}} \mathrm{L}^{2} &=2 \mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{A}} \times \pi \mathrm{R}^{2} \\
\therefore \quad \mathrm{L}^{2} &=2 \pi \mathrm{R}^{2} \\
\mathrm{~L} &=\sqrt{2 \pi} \cdot \mathrm{R}
\end{aligned}$
