$A$ wall has two layers $A$ and $B$ made of different materials. The thickness of both the layers is the same. The thermal conductivities of $A$ and $B$ are $K_A$ and $K_B$ such that $K_A = 3K_B$. The temperature difference across the wall is $20^\circ C$. In thermal equilibrium:

  • A
    The temperature difference across $A = 15^\circ C$
  • B
    The temperature difference across $A = 5^\circ C$
  • C
    The temperature difference across $A = 10^\circ C$
  • D
    The rate of transfer of heat through $A$ is more than that through $B$.
