Heat current is maximum in which of the following (rods are of identical dimension)?

Two conducting cylinders of equal length but different radii are connected in series between two heat baths kept at temperatures $T_1 = 300 \ K$ and $T_2 = 100 \ K$,as shown in the figure. The radius of the bigger cylinder is twice that of the smaller one and the thermal conductivities of the materials of the smaller and the larger cylinders are $K_1$ and $K_2$ respectively. If the temperature at the junction of the two cylinders in the steady state is $200 \ K$,then $K_1 / K_2 = \dots$

$A$ metal cooking pot has a base area of $0.2 \,m^2$ and a thickness of $2.0 \,cm$. It boils water at a rate of $3.0 \,kg/min$ when placed on a hot plate. What is the temperature of the part of the hot plate in contact with the pot (in $^{\circ} C$)? [Thermal conductivity of metal is $120 \,J s^{-1} m^{-1} K^{-1}$,latent heat of vaporisation of water is $2 \times 10^6 \,J/kg$]

In which case does the thermal conductivity increase from left to right?

Heat is flowing through two cylindrical rods of the same material. The diameters of the rods are in the ratio $1:2$ and their lengths are in the ratio $2:1$. If the temperature difference between their ends is the same,then the ratio of the amounts of heat conducted through per unit time will be

$A$ deep rectangular pond of surface area $A$,containing water (density $=\rho$,specific heat capacity $=s$),is located in a region where the outside air temperature is at a steady value of $-26^{\circ}C$. The thickness of the frozen ice layer in this pond at a certain instant is $x$. Taking the thermal conductivity of ice as $K$ and its specific latent heat of fusion as $L$,the rate of increase of the thickness of the ice layer at this instant would be given by:
