The correct answer is: B

Magnetic field due to long solenoid along its axis is given as,

B=μ0nI, where n is the number of turns in the solenoid per unit length, I is current in the solenoid and μ0 is a constant called the permeability of free space.

B1 B2=n1I1n2I2

According to the question, n2=n12 and I2=2I1

BB2=n1n12×I12I1B2=B; means, the magnetic field remains the same.
