As we learnt in

Magnetic field Inside the solid cylinder -

B= \frac{\mu _{o}}{2\pi } \frac{ir}{R^{2}}

- wherein

 

 

Uniform current is flowing. Current enclosed in the 1st ampèrean path is  \frac{I.\pi r_{1}\, ^{2}}{\pi R^{2}}=\frac{Ir_{1}\, ^{2}}{R^{2}}

\therefore \; \; \; B=\frac{\mu _{0}\times current}{path}=\frac{\mu _{0}.Ir_{1}\, ^{2}}{2\pi r_{1}R^{2}}=\frac{\mu _{0}.Ir_{1}}{2\pi R^{2}}

Magnetic induction at a distance r_{2}=\frac{\mu _{0}.I}{2\pi r_{2}}

\therefore \; \; \; \frac{B_{1}}{B_{2}}=\frac{r_{1}r_{2}}{R^{2}}=\frac{\frac{a}{2}.2a}{a^{2}}=1
