Two capillary of length $L $ and $2L$  and of radius $R$  and $2R$  are connected in series. The net rate of flow of fluid through them will be (given rate of the flow through single capillary, $X = \pi P{R^4}/8\eta L)$

(a)Fluid resistance is given by $R = \frac{{8\eta l}}{{\pi {r^4}}}.$
When two capillary tubes of same size are joined in parallel, then equivalent fluid resistance is
${R_e} = {R_1} + {R_2} = \frac{{8\eta L}}{{\pi {r^4}}} + \frac{{8\eta \times 2L}}{{\pi {{(2R)}^4}}} = \left( {\frac{{8\eta L}}{{\pi {r^4}}}} \right) \times \frac{9}{8}$
Equivalent resistance becomes $\frac{9}{8}$times so rate of flow will be $\frac{8}{9}X$
