$A$ wall consists of alternating blocks of length $d$ and coefficients of thermal conductivity $K_{1}$ and $K_{2}$ respectively,as shown in the figure. The cross-sectional areas of the blocks are the same. The equivalent coefficient of thermal conductivity of the wall between the left and right sides is

  • A
    $\frac{2K_{1}K_{2}}{K_{1} + K_{2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{K_{1} + K_{2}}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{K_{1}K_{2}}{2(K_{1} + K_{2})}$
  • D
    $\frac{K_{1} + K_{2}}{2}$

Two conducting rods $A$ and $B$ of same length and cross-sectional area are connected $(i)$ In series $(ii)$ In parallel as shown. In both combinations,a temperature difference of $100^{\circ}C$ is maintained. If the thermal conductivity of $A$ is $3K$ and that of $B$ is $K$,then the ratio of heat current flowing in the parallel combination to that flowing in the series combination is:
