The radius of a conductor increases uniformly from the left end to the right end as shown in the figure. The material of the conductor is isotropic,and its curved surface is thermally isolated from the surroundings. Its ends are maintained at temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ $(T_1 > T_2)$. If,in a steady state,the heat flow rate is equal to $H$,then which of the following graphs is correct?

$Assertion:$ Two thin blankets put together are warmer than a single blanket of double the thickness.
$Reason:$ Thickness increases because of the air layer enclosed between the two blankets.
