Thanks for the effort but still we are far from the desired result. May be this example will help you to understand the situation. Example
a1=c(1:12);   a1=array(a1,dim=c(3,4));   a2=c(1:12);  a2=array(a2,dim=c(3,4));  a3=c(1:16)
a3=array(a3,dim=c(4,4));  
a=list(a1,a2,a3); 
a
[[1]]
     [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4]
[1,]    1    4    7   10
[2,]    2    5    8   11
[3,]    3    6    9   12

[[2]]
     [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4]
[1,]    1    4    7   10
[2,]    2    5    8   11
[3,]    3    6    9   12

[[3]]
     [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4]
[1,]    1    5    9   13
[2,]    2    6   10   14
[3,]    3    7   11   15
[4,]    4    8   12   16

Here [[1]] and [[2]] are same out of three (internal values wise). The whole array [[1]] or [[2]] is in majority. So i want to get the whole array or component of list which is in majority. The result should be like this
     [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4]
[1,]    1    4    7   10
[2,]    2    5    8   11
[3,]    3    6    9   12

Hope it is much more clear as before. 

best regards
Muhammad Azam

That is indeed different from what I thought the first time.

x <- sapply(1:length(l), function(x) {
   sum(sapply(l, function(y) {
     if ( nrow(l[[x]]) != nrow(y) | ncol(l[[x]]) != ncol(y) ) FALSE
     else sum(y != l[[x]]) == 0
   }))
} )

names(x) <- names(l)

Then, x has the same names as l, and x[i] is the number of matches that
l[[i]] has...so you want the index or indices of max(x).
