Two identical plates of different metals are joined to form a single plate whose thickness is double the thickness of each plate. If the coefficients of thermal conductivity of each plate are $2$ and $3$ respectively,then the thermal conductivity of the composite plate will be:

  • A
    $5$
  • B
    $2.4$
  • C
    $1.5$
  • D
    $1.2$
