#L/4#

Time period of a simple pendulum is

#T = 2 πsqrt(l/g)#

Rearrange the above equation

#l = (T^2g)/(4 π^2)#

#g/(4pi^2)# is constant for both the pendulums

Time period of seconds pendulum is 2 second

#l_2/l_1 = (T_2/T_1)^2#

#l_2 = l_1 × (T_2/T_1)^2#

#l_2 = L × ((1 cancel"second")/(2 cancel"second"))^2#

#l_2 = L/4#
