$A$ cylinder of radius $R$ is made of a material with thermal conductivity $K_1$. It is surrounded by a cylindrical shell of a material with thermal conductivity $K_2$,having an inner radius $R$ and an outer radius $2R$. The two ends of this composite system are maintained at two different temperatures. There is no heat loss from the surface of the cylinder in the steady state. Find the equivalent thermal conductivity of the system.

Two rods of equal length and diameter have thermal conductivities $3$ and $4$ units respectively. If they are joined in series, the thermal conductivity of the combination would be

The figure shows three different arrangements of materials $1, 2$,and $3$ to form a wall. The thermal conductivities are $k_1 > k_2 > k_3$. The left side of the wall is $20\,^{\circ}\text{C}$ higher than the right side. The temperature difference $\Delta T$ across material $1$ has the following relation in the three cases:

Assertion: The equivalent thermal conductivity of two plates of the same thickness in contact is less than the smaller value of thermal conductivity.
Reason: For two plates of equal thickness in contact,the equivalent thermal conductivity is given by: $\frac{2}{K} = \frac{1}{K_1} + \frac{1}{K_2}$
