As we learnt in

R=\rho\frac{l}{A}

- wherein

\rho\rightarrow  resistivity / specific resistance

 

Resistance of a wire  R= \frac{\rho l}{\pi r^{2}}= \frac{\rho l\times 4}{\pi D^{2}}

\because R_{A}= R_{B}

\therefore \frac{4\rho _{A}l_{A}}{\pi D_{A}^{2}}= \frac{4\rho _{B}l_{B}}{\pi D_{B}^{2}}

\frac{l_{B}}{l_{A}}= \left ( \frac{\rho _{A}}{\rho _{B}} \right )\left ( \frac{D _{B}}{D _{A}}\right )^{2}

= \left ( \frac{\rho _{A}}{2\rho _{A}} \right )\left ( \frac{2D _{A}}{D _{A}} \right )^{2}= \frac{4}{2}= \frac{2}{1}
