In a composite rod,when two rods of different lengths $l_1$ and $l_2$ and of the same cross-sectional area are joined end to end,if $K$ is the effective coefficient of thermal conductivity,then the value of $(l_1 + l_2)/K$ is

  • A
    $\frac{l_1}{K_1} + \frac{l_2}{K_2}$
  • B
    $\frac{l_1}{K_2} + \frac{l_2}{K_1}$
  • C
    $\frac{l_1}{K_1} - \frac{l_2}{K_2}$
  • D
    $\frac{l_1}{K_2} - \frac{l_2}{K_1}$
