Two concentric spheres of radii $r_1$ and $r_2$ are maintained at temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ respectively. The rate of radial heat flow between the two concentric spheres is proportional to:

  • A
    $\frac{(r_2 - r_1)}{(r_1 r_2)}$
  • B
    $\ln\left(\frac{r_2}{r_1}\right)$
  • C
    $\frac{r_1 r_2}{(r_2 - r_1)}$
  • D
    $(r_2 - r_1)$

$A$ cylindrical metallic rod in thermal contact with two heat reservoirs at its two ends conducts an amount of heat '$Q_1$' in time '$t$'. The metallic rod is melted and the material is formed into a rod of length four times the length of the original rod. The amount of heat conducted by the new rod when placed in thermal contact with the same two reservoirs in time '$t$' is '$Q_2$'. Then $\frac{Q_1}{Q_2}$ is:
