Consider steady flow of water in the series pipe system shown below, with specified discharge. The diameters of Pipes A and B are 2 m and 1 m, respectively. The lengths of pipes A and B are 100 m and 200 m, respectively. Assume the Darcy-Weisbach friction coefficient, f as 0.01 for both the pipes. The ratio of head loss in Pipe-B to the head loss in Pipe-A is ________ (round off to the nearest integer).
