$A$ composite slab consists of two materials having coefficients of thermal conductivity $K$ and $2K$,thickness $x$ and $4x$ respectively. The temperatures of two outer surfaces of the composite slab are $T_2$ and $T_1$ respectively $(T_2 > T_1)$. The rate of heat transfer through the slab in a steady state is $\left[\frac{A(T_2 - T_1)K}{x}\right] f$,where $f$ is equal to:

  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $2/3$
  • C
    $1/2$
  • D
    $1/3$
