Two spheres made of different materials have radii in the ratio $2:1$ and wall thicknesses in the ratio $1:4$. They are completely filled with ice. If the time taken to melt the ice completely in the larger sphere is $25 \ min$ and in the smaller sphere is $16 \ min$,then the ratio of the thermal conductivities of the materials of the larger and smaller spheres is ..........

  • A
    $4 : 5$
  • B
    $5 : 4$
  • C
    $25 : 1$
  • D
    $1 : 25$
