$A$ partition wall has two layers $A$ and $B$ in contact,each made of a different material. They have the same thickness but the thermal conductivity of layer $A$ is twice that of layer $B$. If the steady state temperature difference across the wall is $60 \ K$,then the corresponding difference across the layer $A$ is ....... $K$.

  • A
    $10$
  • B
    $20$
  • C
    $30$
  • D
    $40$
