Two thin metallic spherical shells of radii ${r}_{1}$ and ${r}_{2}$ $\left({r}_{1}<{r}_{2}\right)$ are placed with their centres coinciding. A material of thermal conductivity ${K}$ is filled in the space between the shells. The inner shell is maintained at temperature $\theta_{1}$ and the outer shell at temperature $\theta_{2}\left(\theta_{1}<\theta_{2}\right)$. The rate at which heat flows radially through the material is :-

  • A

    $\frac{4 \pi {Kr}_{1} {r}_{2}\left(\theta_{2}-\theta_{1}\right)}{{r}_{2}-{r}_{1}}$

  • B

    $\frac{\pi{r}_{1} {r}_{2}\left(\theta_{2}-\theta_{1}\right)}{{r}_{2}-{r}_{1}}$

  • C

    $\frac{{K}\left(\theta_{2}-\theta_{1}\right)}{{r}_{2}-{r}_{1}}$

  • D

    $\frac{{K}\left(\theta_{2}-\theta_{1}\right)\left({r}_{2}-{r}_{1}\right)}{4 \pi {r}_{1} {r}_{2}}$
