$A$ cylinder of radius $R$ is surrounded by a cylindrical shell of inner radius $R$ and outer radius $2R$. The thermal conductivity of the material of the inner cylinder is $K_1$ and that of the outer cylinder is $K_2$. Assuming no loss of heat,the effective thermal conductivity of the system for heat flowing along the length of the cylinder is

  • A
    $\frac{K_1 + K_2}{2}$
  • B
    $K_1 + K_2$
  • C
    $\frac{2K_1 + 3K_2}{5}$
  • D
    $\frac{K_1 + 3K_2}{4}$
