$A$ composite rod is made of three rods of equal length and cross-section as shown in the figure. The thermal conductivities of the materials of the rods are $K/2, 5K$ and $K$ respectively. The ends $A$ and $B$ are at constant temperatures. All heat entering the face $A$ goes out of the end $B$,with no loss of heat from the sides of the bar. The effective thermal conductivity of the bar is:

  • A
    $15K/16$
  • B
    $6K/13$
  • C
    $5K/16$
  • D
    $2K/13$
