Two capillary tubes of the same radius but lengths $l_1$ and $l_2$ are connected in parallel at the bottom of a vessel. What should be the length of a single capillary tube of the same radius that replaces both,such that the flow rate remains the same?

The rate of steady volume flow of water through a capillary tube of length $l$ and radius $r$,under a pressure difference of $p$ is $V$. This tube is connected with another tube of the same length but half the radius,in series. Then,the rate of steady volume flow through them is (The pressure difference across the combination is $p$.)
