In a composite rod, when two rods of different lengths $l_1$ and $l_2$ and of the same cross-sectional area are joined from end to end then if $K$ is the effective coefficient of thermal conductivity,  the value of $(l_1 + l_2)/K$ is

  • A

    $\frac{{{l_1}}}{{{K_1}}} + \frac{{{l_2}}}{{{K_2}}}$

  • B

    $\frac{{{l_1}}}{{{K_2}}} + \frac{{{l_2}}}{{{K_1}}}$

  • C

    $\frac{{{l_1}}}{{{K_1}}} - \frac{{{l_2}}}{{{K_2}}}$

  • D

    $\frac{{{l_1}}}{{{K_2}}} - \frac{{{l_2}}}{{{K_1}}}$
