A cylindrical metallic rod, in thermal contact with two reservoirs of heat at its two ends, conducts an amount of heat $Q$ in time $t.$ The metallic rod is melted and the material is formed into a rod of half the radius of the original rod. Amount of heat conducted by the new rod, when placed in thermal contact with same two reservoirs in time $t$ , is
